Chicago Bluesfest is June 10-12 Grant Park 500,000 attendees ! (great music, too)

Started bid $51 Recvd offer of $67,turned it down Bid again 55, no luck Bid last $60, won

Not thrilled about this win... Bid up to $49 on "Name your own Price", then, switched to PRICELINE EXPRESS. This was $55, 2 1/2 *. When I pushed on "what hotel", it listed: similar to: Holiday Inn ExpressBest WesternHamptonHoliday InnFairfield InnMarriott Springhill SuitesIt did not include Quality Inn. This Inn also has only 6.5% rating- many complaints about cleanliness. I could've booked this directly for $64, and, probably gotten a discount with AAA. I've done better in most other attempts at bidding. Pets, Parking, Biz, Internet,. Breakfast, Pool, Fitness Cntr I used Bidding.Helper

started at $75, $5 increments Received counter offer at the $105 bid for $133 Continued bidding until offer accepted $115 ($135.02 with fees) I did notice that PL included estimated resort fees of up to $25 Of course, I started with the BB link to Price.line

Oh, I forgot to say that I did use the site's PRICELINE link to start my purchase and search

PRICELINE EXPRESS Booked date of stay Pool, Fitness, Breakfast, Pet, Parking, Restaurant, Internet Room $56 Taxes $14.56 Total $70.56 Result= Happy Dance!

Bid Priceline, 3*, up to $49, rejected. Took the Express route, $59 plus 13.67 = $72.67 Used the PRICELINE link, (but, used partner's PL sign-in).

I did use the PRICELINE link.

2 1/2 *, 9.3 Rating and a Customer Fave, 117 + 62 fees/taxes= $413 for 3 nights Pool, Fitness, Parking, Internet, Breakfast, Business Center This is a new hotel, great reviews on Trip Advisor I tried Priceline bidding up to 110/night, rejected, So, this turned out well

I started with 4* bids in UNiversity area $52, to $68. Then, I decided to start over with 3 1/2*. I closed browser, bid Downtown 3 1/2*, was upgraded to a 4* win. Nice win, but 1st bid in that zone and star level- so, I always wish I had started lower!

1st bid $9 Full: rejected but PL came back with offer of $11, which I rejected 2nd bid $9 Standard accepted. Total $134.98 Used the PRICELINE link, thanks.

oops, I meant 3*...

Not a bad deal... bid 2 nights, got an option to add additional nights. (used PRICELINE link)

Used the PRICELINE link, Started with $32, then added free re-bids for E, N, S, W Won $45 plus 14.87 taxes/fees for total for $60 After winning, I realized they charge $10 for internet.

I see the header of my original post was changed to include Independence. Beachwood and Independence are 2 separate areas. I bid and won Beachwood only. Also, it is not clear why there is no 3 1/2 star hotels in Beachwood- is this a mistake by Priceline?

I was surprised when I pulled up the map and found the highest star rating for Beachwood is 3 stars! I was planning on bidding for a 3 1/2 star level, Started at $45 (I was thinking I was bidding for a 3 1/2- it was late, I was sleepy) Was offerd $57, got the second bid at $50.($65.79 with fees and taxes).

1st bid Jacksonville Se - Baymeadows, 3*, $35 Got an offer to increase by $15 with no other changes.. turned it down. Added a free re-bid West. $40 Won the: Holiday Inn 9150 Baymeadows Road Jacksonville, FL

Won 1st bid $44.

oops, made a mistake on the date- bid was for 6/13-14

Won 1st bid! Was all set to do multiple free re-bids, wonder if it would've gone any lower...

Same day bid.. *3 Roswell: $33, $35 added S Alpharetta: $40 added John's Creek: $44 started over with *3.5 Norcross: $40, $44, $46 added *3 reduced to $44 won Marriott Ctyd Norcross 6235 McDonough Not sure if this is on the hotel list or if it has been reduced from *3.5? Also, do not see John's Creek on hotel list- it may have split from another?
