Toronto has a lot of free re-bid zones as I was only considering Toronto Downtown South, 3.5 and 4 star hotels. I knew there was a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for a 4 star Downtown South for $96 with a 5% off, so I was considering $90 as my walk away price for NYOP.
I started at $44 and went up 1 dollar per re-bid zone for 2 days and then went up $2 per re-bid zone tonight. I'm happy with $82.
NOTE: I tried for an additional night, but the best price they could give me was $171. So I will just stick with one night, it was all I really needed.
