I can't seem to find my exact bidding history but it went like this: There are three zones in Wilmington, NC - Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and Wilmington South. I was kind of hoping for the South zone, since we prefer Carolina and Kure Beach to Wrightsville, but were willing to accept any of them since we were only staying one night. I had to bid over a few days (using the PRICELINE link here on the first and last day), starting out at $55 with the South zone and adding the other two zones on consecutive bids. I believe I went $55, $58, $60 on the first day, $64, $68, $70 on the second day, $74, $78, $80 on the third day, and finally hit on $82 on the fourth day of trying. I wasn't super happy with the price, but given that it was the first weekend in June, I guess demand was up. Summary of Charges Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $82.00 (USD) Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $82.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $21.24 (USD) Total Room Cost: $103.24 (USD) The hotel gave us a handicap room near the elevator and it was certainly no more than a 2.5*.

First time trying this area in Charlotte. Previously stayed in the South Park area. We'll see how it is. First bid: 3*, South Park, $50, rejected Suggested bid at $73 - no thanks Second bid: add Executive Park - Airport South, $53, accepted Offer Price: $53.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $106.00 Taxes & Fees: $27.50 Total: $133.50 Used the PRICELINE link too!

Used the PRICELINE link. I've stayed in the South Park area twice before in visits to Charlotte, so was hoping to stay there again. Unfortunately, I took some chances on areas I didn't really think I'd get and ended up with a hotel in the downtown area where I'll have to pay $15 extra just to park . Lesson learned I guess! Offer Price: $50.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $100.00 Taxes & Fees: $26.38 Total Charged to Card: $126.38 Bid History: South Park, $45 - rejected Added Fort Mill/Carowinds, $48 - rejected Added Executive Park/Airport South, $49 - rejected Added Downtown, $50 - accepted

Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $64.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $16.67 (USD) Total Room Cost: $80.67 (USD) Bid over five days for a 3* starting at $45, entering two bids a day by adding Lawndale to the LAX area. Finally successful today on my second try at $64 with the 3.5*. Used the BB PRICELINE link everytime.

Used the BB HOTWIRE link to book a one night stay in ATL Amenities: Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool Restaurants High Speed Internet $56 + $14 taxes and fees = $70 I tried Priceline first and bid about 14 times for a 3.5* starting at $36 all the way up to $56 ($72 after tax and fees). When $56 wasn't accepted, I decided to check Hotwire and just happened to find a 3.5* Perimeter hotel listed there for $56. Looking at the board hotel list, it was easy to guess that it was the Crowne Plaza since it didn't list 'Suite' as one of the amenities. Recommended by 85% of Hotwire customers.
