Thanks very much for the info - certainly looks like the 5* is out of reach on the budget :( Areas that I'd look at after some research include bloomsbury, mayfair, regents park, the city and westminster. I think I'll give the 5* a shot, in case of random luck! I have my re-bid areas worked out, so I'll give that a go up to limit and then work my way down to the 4*. I don't think there are any 4.5* in london, are there? One more quick question - I assume that the priceline UK site will charge the associated credit card in GBP? Are there any credit card changes? Thanks, dj

Hi, Thanks so much for your reply and for explaining the tool, I'll give it a go now. I knew I'd forgotten something, the dates are 22-24th may :) Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new to Priceline and am devoting the next couple of days to finding a nice 5* in central-ish london, bloomsbury/kensington ideally. A 2 night trip (no kids!) - a treat for myself and my husband. There haven't been too many winning bids that I can see for 5* recently, so I'm after a bidding strategy. I don't really want to pay over about $140/night, so I'm aware I might have to downgrade to 4* to get this. Off to do some reading and research! Just one quick question - does the bidding helper "use" up a bid on priceline? I'm a bit confused as to how it works. Thanks! dj
