Started at $60; counter-offer to $79; rejected that and bid up in $2 increments until $70 accepted. Did not bid in Historic District - Penns Landing or Rittenhouse Square (in case anyone was wondering about Priceline availability in those zones). I used the PRICELINE link to start bidding.

Started at $80 and increased in $2 increments using free rebid zones until $88 was accepted. The Hilton Financial District's rates for NYE aren't totally outrageous right now, so I booked 12/30 and 12/31 direct from Hilton website and I won't have to change hotels while in SF. I couldn't get a Priceline deal which covered NYE - which isn't really surprising. Thanks to all who post their wins; and I encourage all to use the PRICELINE link from this website, as I did, when commencing their bidding.

Great tip - thank you.

Started at $65, and was given an immediate counter-offer for $82. Rejected that and continued up in $2 increments until $73 was accepted. You've got to love the cities with so many free rebid zones for 4 star. I didn't know, coming from Australia, whether Christmas time wins on Priceline would be difficult in Seattle. Delighted with $73 a night. Now I just have to secure something for San Francisco over the New Years Eve period. I'm guessing this will be more difficult? Thank you to everyone for posting; and I used the PRICELINE link on this website to commence bidding, of course.

Opening bid of $75 accepted. Perhaps I could have got away with less? Although can't have been too much less, as off a rack rate of $239 I'm already saving a mozza. Thank you to everyone who posts here - it's the only way to beat the Priceline game! - and I used the PRICELINE link from this website of course.
