I used your QUICKQUOTE-Tool to access PRICELINE.com and started bidding.. ... 4*, Frankfurt (West): 58 USD ... NOT ACCEPTED ... but I received a counter offer (67 USD). ... I added Frankfurt (East): 60 USD ... ACCEPTED: MARITIM HOTEL FRANKFURT. So I did not get the Moevenpick (which I saw quite often here on betterbidding.com) but the Maritim Hotel Frankfurt. All together (incl. fees & taxes) it's 138.12 USD (about 110 EUR, which is quite nice; Expedia.de-Price is over 300 EUR) .

Another "Munich-Marriott-62US$-Win" Started with 60 US$, ... received counteroffer 69 US$, ... added "Munich South" (which currently has no 4*) ... and bid 62 US$ ... Accepted. Incl. Fees & Taxes it's 142.50 US$ (54 EUR per night which is fine).

Used your PRICELINE Quickquote-Tool to enter my Check-In/Check-Out data (04/13/12-04/15/12)... ... and started bidding for Munich (City Centre North), 4*, 60 USD. ... Received a counteroffer 70 USD,... ... refused the offer and re-bid 62 USD (adding Munich (South)): Success. Total incl. Taxes & Fees is USD 142,50 for 2 nights (about 55 EUR per night; booking via marriott.com is 109 EUR per night for these dates: saved 50% ).

And another win to be reported: Used your PRICELINE link and first bid was successful: 5* Cologne, USD 60 – got the Marriott Cologne. Totel incl. taxes & fees is USD 142.44 so about EUR 55 per night which is very nice. Greetings from Germany!

I just realized that I had forgotten to post this successful bid (I won it on 15DEC2011): MTW, MTE, TS, 4*: 1st bid: USD 145

Yesterday: I used your PRICELINE-Link to go to PRICELINE and started bidding: Tried 35 USD on 3* Dusseldorf (West - Neuss) and got rejected. Added Dusseldorf (Central), tried 40 USD and got rejected again. Today: Used your PRICELINE link again and started bidding: Tried 47 USD on 3* Dusseldorf (West - Neuss) and got rejected. Added Dusseldorf (Central), tried 52 USD and was successful! I got the 4* (!) Renaissance Dusseldorf Hotel. Incl. Taxes & Fees it's USD 120.60 for two nights. (Tha's about EUR 92.50 – on booking.com it's EUR 170, that's 46% off ;) – so maybe the hotel was listed for EUR 45/night in PRICELINE's system.) Happy holidays to everyone!

I tried bidding for San Diego for 03/22/2012-03/31/2012 for several weeks now and usually went up twice a week to about 120 USD per night without any success. I will be attending a conference during the last week of March 2012 in San Diego and hotel rooms contracted by the conference's organizers start at 185 USD. Today I received a 5 USD/night Bonus Cash (up to 50 USD) so I decided to bid again. I wanted to stay in a 4* hotel and I wanted to stay downtown: so a lot of rebid zones. I redeemed my bonus cash, ... closed priceline.com, ... went to betterbidding.com and reaccessed PRICELINE.com using your link, ... logged in to my account and started bidding: my bid 71 USD... + bonus = “real bid” 76 USD... no success my bid 76 USD... + bonus = “real bid” 81 USD... no success my bid 80 USD... + bonus = “real bid” 85 USD... no success my bid 82 USD... + bonus = “real bid” 87 USD... no success my bid 84 USD... + bonus = “real bid” 89 USD... SUCCESS... ... The W San Diego. Incl. fees & taxes it's 877.05 USD in total. (The cancelable 3* hotel which I blocked in case of no PRICELINE or HOTWIRE success was 1.100 USD) I’m very happy... very, very happy! The W has prices on their website starting at 319 USD per night (on Expedia.com it's avg. 328 USD per night)... so I saved 68% (comparing it to my price incl. fees & taxes)!! B)

Seems like I am only winning Hyatt today: I used your link to PRICELINE and started USD 50

Sorry for the spelling error. Of course it is the Hyatt On Capitol Square and not the Hyatt On Capital Square :)

I used your link to PRICELINE and started USD 40

I also like to add my "failed" bids history on Venice 06/30/11-07/03/11: I started bidding about two weeks ago on 5* and increased daily. Yesterday I stopped at 250 USD. I started wondering if there is a hotel on PRICELINE in principle available or not when I checked HOTWIRE: During my dates, there is no 5*-Deal in Venice available (only Hotels.com-Offers). I just checked your dates on HOTWIRE... 03/05/11-03/08/11: there also is no 5* available.

I tried the bidding strategy written above about every 2 to 3 weeks. This week I decided to go down to 3.5* and started on Monday with MTE/CS/MTW/TS 70 to 85 (with rebid zones CI, LIC, UES) - no success, then Tuesday same areas 90 to 105 - no success, then Wednesday same areas 110, 115: offered "Rebid at 145 USD", 120, 123: no success, then Today same areas 125: no success, 128 SUCCESS: The Roosevelt Hotel Thursday, March 31, 2011 to Sunday, April 3, 2011, My Offered Price: 128 USD Subtotal: 384 USD Total Charges: 476.01 USD. I'm quite happy with this result. And of course I used your PRICELINE link to start bidding all the time!

I used your link to PRICELINE and started USD 55

Thank you for your replies. I think we'll wait and try again. We have The Bentley hotel booked with free cancellation until 03/29/11 for about 200 USD incl. all fees and taxes (so it equals a 160-165 USD bid on PRICELINE.com). I'll keep you updated.

Hi, I just did exactly what you proposed... but was not successful. All bids were rejected. Should I wait some weeks and then try again the same strategy?

Thank you for your reply. We are willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* ... ... and our maximum bid would be "cheaper than anything else available" or in numbers about 200 USD plus taxes and fees.

Hi everyone, We were really lucky to book a very cheap flight from Switzerland to NYC and back for EUR 250 per Person (about 330 USD) and now we are looking for nice hotel – 4* or 3.5* – from 03/31/11 to 04/03/11. The area does not really matter... as long as it is in Manhattan and a subway station is within 10 min walking distance. Any bidding recommendations? What price should be the starting price in bidding?

Hi, I'm new to priceline; actually I'm German and here in Germany I've never hear of it before and accidentally found priceline.com two days ago. Because I will be staying in Amsterdam 12/10/10-12/12/10 (having already booked a cancelable 3* hotel incl. breakfast for 216 EUR which is about 290 USD), I tried two day ago with 5* 80 USD 4* 70 USD then yesterday with 5* 95 USD (I was offered a rebid with 120 USD which I refused) 4* 80 USD... ... and succeeded: 2 nights in the Nh Amsterdam Centre for 187.60 USD incl. fees & taxes (which is about 143 EUR) - of course my 290 USD offer is now already canceled :) Now I found your site and I'm happy to post my first priceline.com-result.
