Good advice...
Been a while since I've compared them, but seemed to me that Hotline's "fees" for their hidden name deals were even higher than PL.
Also, PL will add significant fees to its promoated VIP deals on hotels where the name IS disclosed...what is often promoted as a 30-40% discount "since you're a VIP" is dramatically slashed once you click through and see that taxes and fees include much more than hotel /sales taxes.
