I started bidding $84 for 4* in Savannah Historic, then added additional areas (since none have any 4* hotels.) I bid consecutively at $90, $96, $101, $106 and $111 without success. I guess a 4* in Savannah is hard to come by that week.

First I bid $80 for a 4* in downtown, but that was rejected. I left it at 4* and added "Chester" (which doesn't have any 4*) and bid $85, also rejected. I left it at 4* and added "South Richmond" (again, no 4*) and bid $90, which was accepted. Started with the betterbidding PRICELINE link. Gotta love betterbidding! Cheers, Rick

First I bid $47 for a 3* in Ann Arbor, but offer was not accepted. I broadened to include 2.5* and re-bid at $42, which was accepted. Called hotel, and they assured me I am in a room with two double beds, which is perfect because we're traveling with our kids.

I unexpectedly had to find a place at the last minute in the Richmond area for a family event. I saw that the only 4-star was the Omni, so I started bidding low for that and adding an additional area to re-bid after each rejection. Rejected on $65, $71, $76, and then my offer of $81 accepted. There are lots of areas to expand into (none has a 4-star) so you can easily bid over and over to see how low you can go.

Hilton Garden Inn Wilmington Mayfaire Town Center 6745 Rock Spring Road Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 910-509-4046 Having seen another recent success for $65 on a 2.5* in Wilmington, I decided to give it a shot. It was accepted on the first try. Maybe they'd have taken less. Anyway, my family is excited that we're going to enjoy a short vacation at the beach! Thanks, BetterBidding! Rick
