Chris26WI Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ooops... this was probably a complete overbid... even PL itselfs sells this hotel regularly for less... (I can do a best price guarantee.. but well...)... - I really didn't expect this hotel to be here.. I was indeed thinking the Inter-Continental will be the 3 star in Bugis (as it usually appears as a 3 star in the PL-hotels-windows before you make your bid) - and the Albert Court, I didn't expect it to appear in the name-your-own-price option (because I probably made the wrong assume that only these hotels participate which appear with photo/symbol and current price in the regular PL booking windows before you go to name your own price... )... Well you never stop learning!!! (65$ was first bid.... only Bugis zone, only 3star - no 4-5 stars on offer -; rejected with up to 63$ several times in the last days). - Used savingsbarn.comAlbert Court HotelAlbert Court Hotel 180 Albert Street Singapore, Singapore 65-6339393Check-In Date: Monday, May 8, 2006Check-Out date: Tuesday, May 9, 2006Your offer price: $65.00Number of nights: 1Subtotal: $65.00Taxes and service fees: $18.25Total charges: $83.25 Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Sorry to hear of your overbid... at least it's only on a one nite stay.Thanks for sharing it with the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Chris26WI Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Best price guarantee refused... :-("We understand that you would like to receive a refund of the difference, since you found better rate for the same hotel and you have attached a screenshot of the same. Your claim was not accepted due to the fact that we were unable to find better rates on the website. Since, prices keeps varying we cannot accept screenshot as a mode of proof of better rate." (It still shows 76US$ in PL hotels for Albert Court for that period..) Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 The guarantees of both priceline and hotwire are based upon pre-tax and pre-fee rates, so if i'm understanding your situation correctly their viewing your priceline rate at $65 and the site you're trying to match as $76. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Chris26WI Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Upon my previous two guarantee cases.. they reimbursed me the full difference between the complete rates (including taxes and fees)... but well.. in this case, it's only a few bucks.. Link to comment
