thereuare Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 You'll likely have to sweat this one out over the weekend too as i don't think their DD department works on weekends.

flyme2 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well, folks, here's one that may pay off big...or leave you with a big fat hole in your wallet. Hotwire shows what I assume to be the Peabody (area, * rating & all amenities match up) on Aug 22 for $395 (same price as the hotel's website). Easyclicktravel.com has a superior room for $349, yet an executive king room for $109. The things that are turning me into a coward: the room types might not be a matchEasyclicktravel is displaying "on request" which means they may not have availabilityI'm not sure how quickly Easyclicktravel responds to availability requests, but if they allow cancellations, this might work if you book with them first and then try Hotwire. $572 credit would yield a net gain of $177 and a night at the Peabody (or not :) ). Who's got the guts to try? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 RunNGun, Congrats on your GREAT deal!Perhaps you could respond to flyme2 questions about the room description that easyclick used for the room you DD'd against? (although this doesn't guarantee that flyme2 would have the same positive experience as you did... could get some Hotwire rep that doesn't (for some reason) take the same view). Flyme2... RunNGun has the guts and was successful.Alwyas a risk when making an 'overly' expensive purchase with the intention of using the Double the Difference, but it can often pay off bigtime as this post reflects!Congratulations again and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!!
