sort of what i was getting at. i didnt want to come out and say it directly :P
thanks for the information. that is what i was curious about, and its good to know how it works

also, i just found the lower rate on orbitz, so im going to try to call PTS again and hopefully they will do the lower rate, save me some trouble

edit: they couldnt match orbitz price. the best they had is now $159 US or something, so i just booked and will deal with possibilities once things post to my account :P
