Hotwire Never has been Cheaper for Me

I have never once found Hotwire to be cheaper (after accounting for total net cost for the room) than booking directly with my preferred hotel. Bidding with Priceline might get a lower cost, but you won't get future rooms for free from earned points, so it would have to be substantially cheaper. Of course, YMMV.
