Used the PRICELINE link from site, selected 4*, Portland (Downtown) only, and started with $60. Priceline came back and had me rebid with no new zones or stars at $72. Did that and got the Vintage Plaza!
Trying to get a cheapish room for GABF in Denver near the Colorado Convention Center. Started bidding at $65, added areas and increased bids by $10 increments up to $85, then by $5 increments to $100. Cheapest rates for the Monaco on their site are $299. Cheapest 4 star in that area on Hotwire is $114.

I used the PRICELINE link on this site to start my bidding. Saw that someone had got a 4* downtown for under $50 a few months ago. Started bidding at $45, was rejected, added Beaverton - Hillsboro and bid $50, rejected, added Clackamas and bid $55 and was rejected again. I stopped there as I did not want to spend more than that.
Tried $45/night for 3.5* Downtown Portland - unsuccessful.
I decided I wanted to try to get into the Courtyard City Center as many people have won that for under $50, and it gets excellent reviews on Tripadvisor (currently 9th best reviewed hotel in Portland).
Added 3* and bid $45 per night for Downtown Portland only. I was immediately accepted.
It gave the option of extending at the same rate.
Best price on the Marriott Site - $99/night plus taxes and $20 visa gift card.
Thanks to the site and other posters - this information is critical to getting a great deal!
