rapazfreiburg Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Are the rates on the hotels' websites in $ or €? You are using both the dollar sign and then the € abbreviation. That doesn't make sense. It's either this or that. If the rates are in €, please convert them into $ (US). Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I believe the currency signs above are correct as posted... using EUR rates for the hotel direct rates (since those hotels are in a Euro demoniated country, i think) and using US dollars for the US based sites (such as PRICELINE) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
samuelthehound Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Indeed, I apologize for using the dollar sign and adding confusion. The hotel rates are in Euros and the Priceline rates are US dollars. My conversions from Euros would be roughly $507 for Hotel Imperial and $379 for Hotel Bristol (US dollars). Link to comment
samuelthehound Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 As an update, tried same parameteres with $170 US on Priceline and no success. Link to comment
samuelthehound Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Tried the same parameters with $175 on Sept 7th/08 - rejected Link to comment
samuelthehound Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Tried with same parameters, increasing bid to $180... got reply could rebid immediately if increased by $25 Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 It would be appreciated if you used the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
