Friends.....(five postings here above.)

Note: I have it IN WRITING from MC that Hotels.com does not qualify for the rate match. From Mr. James White of Internet Customer Care. In writing. Would be glad to post the email from MC if there is a way to do that on flyertalk. Additionally I have appealed twice to the customer care folks. They all advise that there is no match for any of the mentioned websites. Perhaps because it was PVG and not a domestic location, or whatever.....but MC says no way to hotels.com. Period.
