Hints Tips Secret Handshakes for Hotel Room

[Lady]

Here's the story

We refinanced our home back when almost everyone was also - we received a four night hotel stay at DD as part of a thank you from the company.

Now I can't find the dang certificates, documents etc.
and the company tells me that the certificate expires before
the Summer is over - I say it doesn't - but need to find the
dang thing : (

In the meantime - if it is lost and they don't honor it - how does
priceline work? We're looking for a DD hotel - Dolphin/Swan or one of the others along the drive - if we bid and we get a hotel we really don't want - we still have to take it right?? Can we ask for one of the DD hotels?

Thanks for all advice and confidential number of knocks : )

hi Shell,

Although I've not used Priceline yet, I can recommend the following web site as a good place to learn about it:

My advice is that you become thoroughly familiar with the hotels that pop up in certain zones, so that you can tailor your bids to exclude places that don't interest you. I have seen reports of folks getting the Dolphin, Swan, Gaylord Palms, and other swank places for less than $100 a night.

Of course I hope you find the paperwork you seek so that this becomes a moot point. Good luck!

Have you asked that they void the current certificate and issue a replacement? Certainly they have the number and a record or they would not know when it is to expire. Just a thought. I wish you a marvelous trip no mater which way it turns out. Good luck. :sun:

We learned through biddingfortravel and got a rate of $62/night for the Wyndham (the one across from DtD). It is awesome when folks end up with Swan/Dolphin (same category), but alas, after staying at W.G. we decided to stay at a Disney Value resort next time we are strapped (just not the same *magic*).

Best wishes!

good news
I did call back and ask for a replacement
it did expire in September
I explained that I thought it was December -
and how we planned the Disney trip etc.
and to give it to someone else since we can't use it : (
then they said they would reissue a new one and
make it through December!!!!!!!!
