kelzobei Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Used your link to PRICELINE. Bid many times before without success for 11 Oct - 14 Oct. On the third try today ( 4 & 3 stars) in White House + Capitol Hill area, I got Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill. Price is more than many posted on the board, because of the coming presidential elections.Paid $95/nite + taxes (Total $285 + $50 taxes). However, I was told I will get 10% discount (became 15% later) because of my first time on Priceline, don't know how this will work out (ANY IDEA?). Other internet hotel sites have the price of the same itinerary at ($221 - $255 per nite), savings of more than 50%.
thereuare Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Congratualtions on your win... a great deal for these dates!If the 10%/15% discount you're refering to was a "reward" which you clicked after your winning bid confirmation, BE CAREFUL!!! It's a membership based service which charges a recurring monthly fee after your 'first month free' membership expires... better make a note to cancel and/or try to do so now.Thank you for sharing your win wit the board and for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
kelzobei Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks for the advice. I canceled my membership this morning. Will follow up with the Credit Card company on that issue.
