I haven't used priceline lately but have been very successful for many bids since 2000 for myself and helping family and friends. Once again, I am very pleased. :) We were seeking a hotel room for 1 night in Daytona prior to our Cruise that leaves from Port Canveral the next day. After some research I was hoping for this hotel as it includes the hot breakfast buffet and it's very close to the Speedway as well for a quick tour. Best price for this stay is $102 if paid in advance. I tried several bids over the past 2 weeks starting at $50 and adding the beach for $55. Today I finally received a message to increase my price from $55 to $69 and elected to cut that $14 bid in half and bid again for $62 for a grand total of $77.52. Landing a place that includes breakfast is a huge bonus for the 4 of us. I am very pleased!

Any old wins - I have MANY and will certainly share them. It will take me a bit to pull them up and get them entered here - but I love to share my deals as much as I like to read others.

Actually, I'm a Priceline pro and I love getting a deal! Couldn't resist the gamble whether this was the 4.5* MGM or not :) I must admit - I panicked when I couldn't find the double the difference link and then found the right email address. Then I knew I was ready to bite the bullett. I used hotwire once before last Jan for Vegas as well (NYNY). So, I filled the form out and waited and waited - when I read someone warning that the rules changed to something in the lines of one request per year (I got a refund for the NYNY for $12 in Jan) - I was really sweating - but the rules read - one refund request every 6 weeks & max. of $1000/yr. So, I have my confirmation of a refund of $144.20 to being credited to my card within 10 business days.... no worries And great site you have developed here - great to see something geared towards hotwire as it has now become my favourite tool for a deal!

Just started using hotwire and found this site through another board. Booked a flight for Vegas and wanted the MGM Grand even though I could have gotten the Venetian for $79 via priceline. But this deal was even sweeter......... Selected Nov. 9 & 10 on the Vegas Strip and 4.5* - identified as MGM via the amenity symbols. I hoped! :) Initially prices came up at $71 then $72 and $74 then $96 :) I was aware of double the difference and found cheaper rates through the MGM site, Travelocity and Orbitz for 59.95. So I grabbed it. Hotwire cost $96 per night - total 220.05 after a refund of double the difference - In the end, our 2 nights at the MGM will cost $78.85 including taxes and fees. And, you can't beat that! :D :o :P :)
