Priceline Hotel: 5* Brussels rejected @$80, 4* rejected @$40

[Chris26WI]

An offer of $80 for 5 star Brussels, May 17th, was rejected without counteroffer, another offer of $40 for 4star (central Brussels too) was rejected either (without counteroffer). Didn't want to go higher for 4star because the CP Europe had an prepaid rate of 64 Eur for that night on their website.

Ended up in booking the Hilton City Centre for 84 Euro prepaid on their website. (After succesfully gotten the Sheraton Brussels - just opposite of the Hilton - for the weekend after, 75 Euro per night, via a hotwire-like European opaque site).

What is this HOTWIRE-like site?

What is this HOTWIRE-like site?

Didn't know if I can mention the site here (@thereuare: feel free to delete this, if it's against the policy of this site), it was on lastminute.com - they apparently have some opaque-version offers sometimes too within the hotel lists - though it was quite easy to discover which hotels are hidden behind the descriptions.. as the descriptions are the same as in the usual regular offers, just not mentioning the hotel's name. The Sheraton was listed as "5star" there.

No problem from me :)

We actually used to be an affiliate, but they stopped the US program... we'll keep an eye to see if they re-instate it anytime soon.
