Hi, I bid a nice hotel deal from priceline, but I have some small questions. The priceline says the hotel will guarantee a room avaivable for me, but I need to contact with the hotel for the bed size(king,queen or two double bed) and non-smoke or smoke etc., when should I call the hotel? one week before or before just check in? will they hold the room for me? and Can I get a room I prefer if they do have it avaible?or they just intend to give me a bad room?
Also, I see a link of Great Fun, a partner of priceline, which claims you can get 10% cash back for your purchase, Does anyone have experiences to get money from Great fun?
Thanks

Your room is guaranteed, but if you plan to show up after, say, 8P local time I would call the front desk or include the arrival time in your letter.Does anyone have experiences to get money from Great fun?Some hotels have ladies in the lobby who get money from Great Fun, although I would not recommend this.
You should call the hotel - and give them the reservation number. Have them confirm that they have it and then ask if you can put in a request. The 10% thing requires you to pay money to save money. Sort of.
