Hotwire Hotel: Hotwire Double Your Difference re Vegas and Hotel Promo Rates

[travelAlot]

Question I had about Hotwire's Double The Difference Guarantee for anothe trip. Does anyone have any idea if Hotwire considers Harrah's "hot Rates" -- publicly and readily available to everyone -- to be a valid published lower rate for the DTD program? I'm very tempted to book something, knowing the rate will drastically be reduced, if accepted. But I'm a bit nervous about if the hot Rates are inavlid for DTD purposes and/or if the hot Rates would change from the time I submit my claim to when it's actually reviewed.

For example, Hotwire shows $80 rate for hotel that's readily identifiable (100% sure). Hotel standard rate is $85, and hot Rate (linkable and available to anyone who clicks on the hotel's homepage and even its reservation page) is $55. I.E. Will Hotwire consider the $55 rate as valid for DTD program? Or based on everyone's experience in general, is Hotwire somewhat nitpicky and difficult to deal with on stuff like this. If I go this way, it's a $100 mistake ($90 net based on my alternate hotel) so I want to have some confidence before I proceed.

Any insight on this? Much appreciated as, if I goof, that's a $100 mistake. If I go ahead and book, I'll use the link from here.

Thank You

What are the actual date(s) of the stay you're referencing?

Is this for Harrahs itself or one of their other properties?

It's a moot point now, I couldnt get any confirmation from Hotwire even though I was pretty sure of the program rules. Bottom line is it would've aved me $20 but if rejected, wouldve cost me $100. Then teh rates went back up. Apoligize for not responding sooner, I didnt want to post a specific rate and posted lower rate and specific hotel name...as I know a lot of hotel chains and hotels which participate on Priceline/Hotwire and Priceline/Hotwire do themsleves monitor boards like this (I wasnt about to give them a heads up and have the rate disappear if I went through with it). Thanks anyhow.
