General Observations About Hotwire When posting in this category, keep in mind that Hotwire monitors this board.

Airline Tickets Please post any occurrences of Hotwire beating Priceline's price using the exact same parameters. Please state exactly how much you bid with Priceline and Hotwire's price. Posts that do not meet these criteria will be removed.	90	231	Re: DEN-IAH 4/1-4... kemchua0308 10/24/10 2:31 AM
Hotels Please limit posts to general observations that will be useful to Priceline users, such as the quality ratings Hotwire assigns to a particular hotel in a particular city so it can be an apples to apples comparison with Priceline. This forum should also be used when Hotwire was able to beat Priceline for a comparable hotel since Hotwire's ratings do not always correlate with Priceline's ratings. Posts that do not meet these criteria will be removed.	443	1328	Hotwire 4* Radiss... DiiBob 06/17/13 11:25 PM
Rental Cars Post any instances of Hotwire beating Priceline's price using the exact same bidding parameters. If you cannot illustrate that Priceline could not beat Hotwire's price, after comparing the total cost with taxes and fees, your post will be removed. The Hotwire rate you use must be their opaque rate where you don't know the rental car company until after you submit your credit card. Do not use Hotwire's rates directly from the rental car company where you do not pay in advance. Those are retail rates.	52	100	TPA, Alamo midsiz... hikerboy 03/26/13 6:21 PM
