Sarnia - Point Edward 3.5* Showing: Fitness, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Laundry $135 a night for July 17/18

They won't upgrade you with for a tip. Ask upon check-in if you can upgrade to a Fallsview room and they will quote you a price. Also, for this hotel, park at Casino Niagara. If you get a free Player's Advantage Card at the casino, parking is free.

Fitness, Pool, Restaraunt, Business Centre, High-Speed internet access Booked through the BetterBidding HOTWIRE link. Came to $173.85 total for two nights. Compare that to Hilton's "Best Rate" of ~$516 with all the taxes, and that's quite a deal.

I indeed used the PRICELINE link in the posted strategy. Thanks!

Following the 4* bidding strategy for Ottawa (below), got accepted for this night at $60. This is during the Ottawa Bluesfest, and compared to the "Bluesfest Special Rate" at the Marriott of $149 plus taxes, this is a GREAT deal. Came to $75.84 with all taxes and fees. Select 4* Ottawa...

I want to fly from Vegas to Burbank or LAX on July 28th, and return the next day. Any advice on what to bid? Regular fare looks to be $120 or so.

Thanks for the info. I have to go either way as my firends are getting married there during JazzFest. I have a back-up set (a guesthouse in NO). if a $93 bid is failing then the back-up I have will be a better deal.

I am eagerly awaiting a post from a BB member that attempts to beek a New Orleans room for Jazzest '06. I will be going down on either the 26th or 27th of April and returning on May 1st and would love some insight as to what bids in the FQ might be accepted. We have backup plans for a Guest House in NO.

Does anyone know if the Canadian trick works for airfare? Someone told me it does not, but I would like to confirm.

Great site.
