Hi all, thanks for helping me understand PRICELINE bidding! I am really excited to report that I just succeeded in getting a bid accepted through Priceline for US$ 95.00 plus tax, at a total of $ 113.27, for the Marriott Resort Stellaris in Aruba ( I had been hoping for it). Initial bid was 2 weeks ago at $ 70.00 first for a resort, then 4 star, then 3 1/2 star. I increased by $5.00 every few days. At my $ 90.00 bid for a 3 1/2 star hotel I received a counter offer asking for $ 22.00 more, but I did not go for it . The following day I offered $ 95.00 for a 4 star hotel, and Bingo! :)
