Booked the 1st-3rd and I am definitely up for some Lou Malnati's. One of these days, I need to get to Chicago outside of the winter months...

DUDE! Awesome find! Should I book the later dates in case the weather is bad during the earlier dates?

I reserved the Internet Only rate where it indicates that full payment will be made at the time of booking. However, my credit card has not been charged. There was a pending charge of $1, but now it has disappeared.

Whether it's been charged right away, or not, you agreed to pre-payment. So, don't expect to be able to cancel and not pay for it.

The AAA rate is the same as the prepaid rate, so there is no need to book a prepaid rate. Well, of course you should HAVE AAA if you're using that rate.

I guess you're not a big fan of Best Western! The Internet Only rate is fully refundable (it is not an "advance purchase" rate). The cancellation policy for my booking: "Cancellation Policy: Cancel before 4PM hotel time on December 31, 2014 to avoid a charge"

Beautiful!! Thanks OP for the info. Booked Jan 1 for 2 nites - great city - great eats! Lou Malnati sounds good for 1 nite -- Grand Luxe Cafe is one of our favorites for 2nd nite (beignets, anyone?).

Now, need some outstanding deals like this in Southwest Airlines cities in WARM climates so I can use my newly acquired companion pass and escape freezing northern climates!!!

Safe, CHEAP travels all...

This rate does get your card charged for the full amount though right?(like orbitz, hotels.com etc do) Whereas the best available merely holds the reservation and no charges.

Yes. It is probably smarter for me to cancel the prepaid but refundable rate, and get the non-prepaid and still refundable AAA rate! I think i will do that!

No, not a huge fan. But I LOVE a deal and I'm BW Diamond. Thanks for explaining the internet rate.

Looking forward to Chicago.
