I wanted to book my hotel in Montreal using Hotwire.com. But I decided to give Priceline.com another try. The first try with Priceline was not successful for 4* & 3*. I forgot how much I bidded during that time (maybe $75 fro 4* and $55 for 3*). Today, after 72 hours of waiting, I bidded again for a 3* in Montreal for stay dates from Aug 12 thru Aug 15. I got the winning after the first bid for $55/night + taxes & service fees of $22.04 for a total of $187.04. The hotel name is Wyndham Montreal Hotel. I am a first timer to Priceline, but luckily I checked out betterbidding.com first before I started my bidding. I got the betterbidding web site from an article I read from the Washington Post newspaper 2 weeks earlier. I just wanted to thank for the tips posted on the betterbidding.com site, and especially thanks to Thereuare for responding to my question I posted on Hotwire section. I think I got a very good price for a hotel like Wyndham. I will find out what kind of room I will get. From the hotel website I found out that I am not eligible for membership points, among other things, if I booked my hotel room thru Priceline.com. Again thanks. Stan
