I used your PRICELINE link.

I bid on Aug 5, 2009. Started at 3* (Eden Prairie) area rejected at $35, 37, 39, 41 ,43 (using the four re-bid zones) didn't get a win so I quit. I Started a new session, this time 3* (Airport MSP - Mall of America) area, rejected at $35, 37, 39 and hit at $41. Was surprised to see I got a hotel that has not been reported. Trip advisor shows mostly positive reviews, internet rate is $122 per night. Pleased with the result . This hotel was reported in a Hotwire win in July for $46 also at 3*.

Forgot to mention, used the PRICELINE link from Betterbidding. Thanks.
