thereuare Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your results with the board.Insurance is a personal choice... if you end up needing it, it will be money well spent; if not, then it's money wasted (other than the peace of mind it may have given you). The conditions are somewhat restrictive and at $5/nite it's about 5% of your room cost, and i figure there is a less than 5% chance i'll need to cancel my trip for one of the reasons stipulated, so i opt not to take the insurance (but for somebody else it may work for their needs)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
