    So we booked our flight and are going to book our room through alpharooms. My question is for those that have booked through them when the best time is to book?? I noticed 2 weeks ago the price dropped for a couple hours but then went back up and hasnt gone back down since. Now the current price is good so I dont want it to go above that but am wondering if it will drop again...haha..OK so anyway does anyone have any experience or tips with alpharooms?????Thanks so much!!!!

    No experience with them myself but if you see a price you like just jump on it. You may lose out on a better deal but at the same time you might end up coming up empty altogether if you don't book when you can.

    I noticed with them their prices somestimes goes from one extreme to the next in a few hours. I was able to add 4 extra days on my trip for 378.00 by hitting it at the right time. Hard to say if they will come down but did notice that on tue-thurs is when i would see the price change. Just keep plugging away a few times a day and hope you hit....just like a slot machine.

    I agree and thats what were definitly going to do...I just thought maybe someone had a "trick" that they knew a certain time that the prices dropped.......All good, I'm just excited that our flights our booked and that there is no question that we will be there in 3 months!!!!!:ernaehrung005:

    purchased our flight july 26th-aug 4th. we tried to book with alpha rooms. its keeps rejecting the debit card, stating that the card number, exp date, and security code are not correct. any tips hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I think that you can only use credit cards, no debit cards.

    They take debit cards. We used a debit card. But you will have to call your bank and let them know that the charge is legit. It did the same with us. I just called my bank & told them a charge from Alpha Rooms was comming thru. Had no problems after that.

    Alpharooms are certainly legit. Lots of people have booked through them this year with no complaints.

    I think they may be asking for the 3 or 4 digit number that's printed on the back of the card by the signature strip.
