I popped my betterbidding.com cherry recently with one nite priceline win at a local resort and was going to just add another night via priceline, but after figuring resort fees and parking fees (ya, do you believe it? $10 bucks to self park in the desert? lol), figured I'd try a less expensive option to arrive to town with. Did some research here, and ended up at the Hotwire forums, and saw this hotwire purchase at the Hyatt Regency for 71 bucks back in September last year. Went to HOTWIRE, saw that the same amenities and star rating was going for $76 bucks and same area. I used the PRICELINE links here to get a quote from priceline on a 3.5 Star hotel in the Rancho Mirage area and bid $60 (saw someone, somewhere mention they tried for 20% less than hotwire as a goal); wasn't accepted. Bid again at $66 and got it! Very happy with the hotel and price! Thanks for the great site!
