AaronJB Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 This is one of the most commonly asked questions on the board - waiting to book a hotel is like rolling the dice in Vegas. It's a gamble, and could easily go the other way. I've helped so many people who have decided to wait to book, then when they tried to book a couple of months later, the prices were as much as 2x.You don't mention the dates of travel, so I can't research to see what prices are on your dates of travel.

cognin Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 3 star hotel in Cambridge.I guess my question is really, can I get cheaper by PRICELINE? I thought if you tried PRICELINE, once it goes through, you are bound to it.Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yes, if your bid is accepted you are charged and you are bound to the purchase... similarly with HOTWIRE you will see the price and the amenities, but won't know the name of the hotel until after you commit to purchasing it.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
