Help Finding Thread-location of blind bid hotel

[huntforjulia]

I remember reading a thread about ways to figure out location of hotel on sites where they hide the name like; pricline and hotwire.

There was something about the url and going to this other site. Then you could pretty much figure out what hotel the blind bid was for. Searched and can't find it. It may have been in another thread-like asking for advice on blind bids,I'm not sure I wish I would have subscribed. Thanks for any help.

I've used the lists at http://www.betterbidding.com/ in the past. Worked every time! Good luck!

I think you're thinking of Last Minute Travel, and if you search for that here on the board, you'll come up with directions for finding out what hotel you're looking at. They list by location and star rating -- "4 star hotel in Lake Buena Vista" -- for example, but it's easy to tell which hotel it is using the directions here. Not sure if there is a similar way to figure out Hotwire. Maybe at Better Bidding.

No way to tell with Priceline because you bid on a level of stars and an area and then they tell you what you got. You're not bidding on a specific hotel. Better Bidding can tell you what hotels typically show up on Priceline for each star rating/area.
