My two day job in San Jose turned into a five day job and I needed three more hotel nights---Thurs, Fri, Sat. I bid from $35 to $40 for a 2.5* in Milpitas without success. I thought Thursday was probably more expensive than Friday/Saturday; so I decided to bid Fri/Sat alone, then use Add a Night for Thursday. I'd have two chances to use Add a Night---first off my Tues/Weds reservation at the Beverly and again off my Fri/Sat reservation, if I won someplace else. For Fri/Sat $35 for 2.5* Milpitas got a $9 counteroffer. I went up in one dollar increments and won the Beverly Heritage on an upgrade, again at $40. Tried Add a Night for Thursday off the Fri/Sat reservation. Got a $48 counteroffer. Tried Add a Night for Thursday off the Tues/Weds reservation. $48 counteroffer again. I tried to undercut the counteroffer by bidding for Thursday night alone. $40 for 3* Milpitas denied without counteroffer. $42 denied and $44 accepted by the Beverly again. What I ended up with then, all at the Beverly, was: Tues $40 Weds $40 Thurs $44 Fri $40 Sat $40 I'm surprised the Beverly adjusts their Priceline rates in increments as small as $4, but apparently they do.
