I wanted to stay in a 4* in Cupertino, but had a short time frame and bid: Cupertino - $65 Added Milpitas - $75 Added Mountain View - $85 Newark - Fremont - $95 San Jose South - $105 And lost them all. Got desperate and added San Jose (which also had a 4*) and won The Fairmont San Jose for $125. Not incredible, but good for short notice, and it's going for $229 on Expedia.

Bid on a 4 star in USW, USE, and SOMO, started at $75 and bid, $80, $86, and $91 (won). Clicked on the BB PRICELINE link, of course.

Bid $40 for 3* downtown, was rejected. Raised to $45 and was accepted. As always, used the BB PRICELINE link :).

First bid $75 was rejected. Second bid of $80 was accepted! And I definitely used your PRICELINE link. Hope I posted the details right.

Intercontinental The Barclay 6/22/08 to 6/25/08 Started bidding at $190, increased by $5 a few times, and accepted at $205. Definitely used the PRICELINE link :)

I bid $75 for a 3* in Pasadena and was rejected. I bid $86 for a 3* in Pasadena and Monrovia and was accepted at the Westin Pasadena! And, as usual, I used the PRICELINE link. Thanks again!

Hello, I need help creating a bidding strategy for LA (Pasadena) for 6/11/08 to 6/14/08. I can get what looks like the 3.5* Westin on HOTWIRE for $99 per night for those dates, so the most I'd like to pay on Priceline would be $90 or less. I already used the United Airline link you provide to book airfare. Thanks in advance.

Started bidding at $100... Bid of $172 accepted. Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link.

First Bid: $72, 4* USE, rejected Second Bid: $76, 4* USE and USW, accepted.

Lots of rebid zones. I bid: $50 $60 $70 $80 $90 $95 $100 None were accepted.

Accepted at the Wyndham Westshore for $65! Thanks for all your help!

I've decided to add westshore 3* to my acceptable locations. Any suggestions? Do you think this will help?

All bids were rejected :).

Ok, I kinda slacked off on this. But I tried the first and second set on successive days and was denied, I'll try the 3rd set tomorrw.

Thank you. I tried the first set, and was rejected all the way up to $70. I'll try again tomorrow! Thanks again.

Ok, using the method you described, I can use Brandon and Tampa North, since they are currenlty only showing 2.5 stars as their highest rated hotels. $100 per night would be acceptable to "eat" the extra nite. Thanks!

Hello, I followed up the on the Vegas thread. Thanks again for your help.

Hello, I ended up getting the hotel that the conference was being held at (Bally's) through Expedia for $69 per night. I used your link. Thanks for your help!

Hello, I'd like to have a 3* in downtown tampa. I can get the Hyatt Regency for $135 w/taxes as a back up, so I'd like to get these rooms for significantly less then that if possible, preferably under $100 per night. What makes this a little difficult is that I need 3 rooms from 5-4-06 to 5-7-06, and 1 room 5-5 to 5-7. If the price is low enough, I'd probably eat the extra night for the fourth room if necessary to get them in the same hotel. I have not tried bidding at all yet. From your Hotel List, I see that I have 3 zones to work with, Downtown (where I want), Brandon (only a 2.5 star), and East-Fairgrounds (again, only a 2.5 star). What would you suggest? Thank you in advance.

Hello and thanks in advance for your help. I will be attending a conference at Bally's 1/7/06 to 1/10/06. The night of the 7th is optional but preferred. Nicest hotel I can get for under $100, but the cheaper the better if accommodations aren't that much better I will be traveling alone I'd be willing to split the nights if necessary.
