fanatix Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have been trying for the past 4 days to book the Hyatt Clearwater and each time, I had started from $95 to $130, to no avail, using various bid options.I was also a bit concerned that the Marriott also showed up as a 4* hotel in the Clearwater Beach area when I did a regular Priceline search. But, there were no reported wins at the Marriott on this board and another board, so I was hopeful.Today, I received a $10/day bonus bucks offer from Priceline. I was motivated to bid again and win this hotel.Not including my bonus bucks, I tried at $95, $100, $110, $120, $125, and $130, and then I decided to go up to $135 and won. The going rate was $219. So, it's 39% off. The total hotel cost was $135+$10 bonus bucks=$145. Of course, I still have to pay for the cost of self-parking ($18) and a resort fee of ($25) per day. I've read rave reviews about the place and the location is exactly where i want to be! So, I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help on the bidding. Link to comment
