akhon Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi all,Just wondering if anyone has noticed / experienced "targeted" pricing on hotel bookings on Hotwire? What I mean by that is my partner and I each have an account on Hotwire. Just now I was checking for a hotel in Ottawa over the Christmas period and for some reason, the everything is $2 cheaper when I do a search using my partner's account then when I use my own account. This isn't sitting too well with me as I have booked over 9 trips with Hotwire using my account, and only 1 with my partner's account. If anything you think I should get the better rates? I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced this.:) Link to comment
