Using the PRICELINE QuickQuote on BB, researched Zones Orlando (SeaWorld - International Drive - Convention Center), thought it had best options of getting Renaissance or Westin Imagine.
Started bid at $68, was refused but sent back that we could immediately try again with our same Zone for an increase of $13
-- So a total of $81 bid, and came back as the Westin Imagine. Also, gave option to extend extra nights at same price, we didn't take it, but that was a nice option if we wanted too.
1 Room / 2 Adults and All the Taxes:
Room Subtotal: $81.00 (USD)
Taxes and Fees: $18.46 (USD)
Total Charged to Card: $99.46 (USD)
Used the site's PRICELINE link to start bidding for 2 nights at $63, then $70 the next day, for a 3.5* hotel. Was asked to try again after our $70 bid, without having to change checked specifics like dates, location, stars, if I increased my bid to $85 a night. We went for it and it was upgraded to a 4*, The Brown Hotel. Hope this is a nice property - Total $170 for 2 nights, with taxes $34.90, a grand total $204.90.
HOW WE WON --

We had been watching these dates for several weeks on Hotwire to catch a price drop for a 4.5 star in Times Square.
Using the HOTWIRE QuickQuote on BetterBidding, searched with our dates, and came back at $199 with a customer satisfaction rating of 95%
(we were hoping for the Intercontinental based on other reviewers here, and we got it)
Once booking was confirmed, Hotwire gave us option to extend our nights at $227, but we declined.
