love betterbidding

I started at $50 and bid many times until I got a room at $69. Express deal price for this hotel is $82. I love "name your own price." Now I have to figure out how to ask for a crib. Thanks, everyone for sharing your bidding info.

Started at $62 and finally was able to book at $70. It has been ages since I used the bidding last time. I'm very happy about the result. Thanks,

Sorry for posting the old bid so late. When I was posting my today's bid, I noticed that I hadn't posted my previous DC trip because of the problem with my id. It still doesn't let me post anything, so I had to create the new ID. Anyway, it was during the Cherry Blossom Time in DC; so it might be useful for others who want to visit DC for next Cherry Blossom. (At that time, there were only 4 free zones for 4 star hotels. I kept my bidding note.) First bid: 4 stars, White House, $60 Continued with $5/$3 increments with 4 free zones and $75 was rejected. Tried with 4 stars, Foggy Bottom, Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, and Foggy Bottom from $77 to $100 and all were rejected. Gave up the 4 stars and tried 3 and 1/2 stars. ended up getting 3 and 1/2 star hotel at Capitol Hill at $77 + tax. My purchase date was 4/3/2009 which was a day before. Probably it is better to book early for Cherry Blossom. Just a thought. Thanks Betterbidding!

Used the PRICELINE link. First bid: 4 stars, Convention Center - Capitol Hill, $50 Continued with $1 or $ 2 increments with 5 free zones and $57 was rejected. Tried with 4 stars, White House, $58 Continued with $1 increments with 5 free zones and $63 was rejected. Tried with 4 stars, Convention Center and White House, $60 Continued with $2 increments with 5 free zones and ended up at $70 + tax. The charge for 3 room was totaled at $248.58 for 1 night. Thanks Betterbidding!
