Started bidding at $129 and went up from there, adding regions that didn't have a 4 star offering. After low-ball initial bid, I jumped up to something more realistic and tried $155, $160, $168, and finally won at $175. After taxes and fees my card was charged US$ 211.74 I realized right after I bid would have saved myself some time (and $2.10) by choosing the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal at $182 and applying the 5% discount with coupon code SUMMER14. Oh well, still a much better deal than anything on HOTWIRE, and far better than booking direct, even with a AAA discount. By the way I used a PRICELINE link from here - thanks for the help over the years - finally created an account to share my wins.
