I placed 2 bids, my first was for $45 for Rancho Mirage-Indian Wells-Palm Desert, I selected the "Resort" star level only, hoping to get a great deal on my first try, but it was rejected. This was a last minute trip, so I added Palm Springs, and selected 3 star and up for $46 and got the Caliente Tropics Resort. I think if I had thought this through, I could have had one more bid before this, since Palm Springs zone doesn't have a "Resort" option. But I was a little rushed. Now, the hotel site lists rooms going for $47, so it wasn't that great of a deal; however, I had a coupon code for Priceline from the Entertainment Book (If you have an Entertainment Book, you can get up to $50 off, $10/night, check your book) so I was actually out of pocket $36 per night. With taxes out the door, it's $93.22 and would have been $112.84 booked through the hotel site. That's still a 17% savings. I normally use the PRICELINE link through better bidding, but since I had a discount, I had to click through the link in the email they sent me.
