Bid $40 for 2.5* was rejected, Bid $34 for 2* and was also rejected, used link from this website to PRICELINE. Priceline says avg price $79 for 2* so I always just multiply by 0.425 for first bid (57.5% discount) to see if I can get the "up to 60% off" room price. Unsuccessful this time around...mulling over options.
