travelAlot Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 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 Link to comment

travelAlot Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 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. Link to comment
