Started bidding yesterday at $25 (Mississauga) then added Oakville at $30 Because I am looking to stay in Oakville I don't have too many rebid options so I stopped there. Successful today at $40 in Mississauga zone (perhaps I should have started lower...) Fairfield Inn 2937 Sherwood Heights Drive Oakville, Ontario L6J 7L3 Check-In Date: Tue, Dec 25, 2007 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Thu, Dec 27, 2007 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$40.00 Subtotal: US$80.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$19.36 Total Charges: US$99.36 Began bidding using the Savingsbarn site Question: If the highway conditions are decent, I may consider staying on an extra night. Do you know whether we are more likely to be successful if we rebid right away or if we wait? (until the 26/27th)

Thanks Thereuare for your bidding strategy! (See previous posting) I followed it as directed and was successful at $85 with the Westin.

Thanks Theruare - $85 for the Westin. See my detailed note in Priceline forum

Sorry - I'd say $115

Any advice for bidding on a 4* room in Ottawa - one night, Saturday Dec. 1st, downtown? It has been a while since Ottawa has shown up on the successful bid list... thanks in advance

and another option is Kingston Ontario. Only 2 hotels seem to come up (Holiday Inn and 4 Points Sheraton) - both are very close to the waterfront and lots of restaurants

After bidding for weeks on Priceline, gave up today after reaching $230, and booked through Hotwire (after jumping to Savingsbarn from your site). Nightly rate of $255 including taxes and fees becomes $300.26 Ameneties: Fitness, Restaurant, Business Centre, Hi-Speed Internet Note - Priceline Hotel List information for Millenium Hotel Broadway needs to be updated: Millenium, back up to a 4 star, and now includes Hi-Speed Internet.

Used SavingsBarn for my bidding. Started with 3*, $40 bid for "Williamsburg Historic - Busch Gardens", rejected. Added "Williamsburg Center - Outlets", increased bid to $45 and it was accepted. Holiday Inn Hotel And Suites Williamsburg - Historic Gateway Williamsburg Center - Outlets 515 Bypass Road Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 757-229-9990 Check-In Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 Check-Out Date: Friday, March 16, 2007 Your Offer Price: $45.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $90.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $21.31 Total Charges*: $111.31 This note is late being posted... We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was newly built and opened in September - all rooms have microwave and bar fridge. There were not many restaurants within walking distance, but many within a short drive (less than 5 minutes) and the main visitor centre for Colonial Williamsburg is about a 3 minute drive away.

Thanks very much for your help, Thereuare - I'll think we'll revert to 'Plan B' and leave town a day earlier. Still plenty to see in the neighbouring states...

I am looking to extend my stay and need advice for the night of Monday March 13. We are currently staying in Dupont Circle area. Goal would be to have a 4* room at less that $120. Is this possible for that night?

I was planning to try the 'add nights' option that was provided, which means I wouldn't have to move, and still get it for $80 (assuming that is how it works) do you know how long the 'time limited' offer lasts? -- Just tried and my $80 offer was rejected by Omni. So, yes, I'll need some advice for Monday night L

After numerous attempts, finally was successful, after changing my dates to exclude Mon. March 13. Used SavingsBarn each time March 9-13, 4* Dupont Circle - $70. Used rebid zones for $75, 80, 85 - all rejected Closed browser, re-opened and tried: White House - $80. Used rebid zones for $85, 90, 95 - all rejected Closed browser, re-opened and tried: Both Dupont Circle and White House- $90. Used rebid zones for $95 and 100- all rejected (wanted to keep it under $100) Learned that many hotels were sold-out for Monday night, so this morning, removed the 13th and was successful on first try, so likely could have bid lower. But, still very happy with this as it gave me the option to 'extend my stay' for the same price. - Do you know what the time frame is for this 'limited time offer'? Omni Shoreham Hotel Check-In Date: Friday, March 9, 2007 Check-Out Date: Monday, March 12, 2007 Your Offer Price: $80.00 Extend Your Stay Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Subtotal: $240.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $42.96 Total Charges*: $282.96
