I have been reading in this forum for a while, and it helped me save a ton of cash with priceline bidding. I did my research and figured out what areas are best suited for me. I started bidding for Fairfax West area at $60, got rejected. Then I added Dulles South and raised my bid to 62, got denied again. Then I used the free rebid area and raised my bid to 65 Finally, my bid got accepted and they upgraded me to a 3.5* which is not bad. Original prices for the rooms in that hotel are currently at $134.
