  1. I just booked Sheraton Centre Toronto for $79 (1 night, March 22nd 2008) Hotel details were as follows: Customer favourite Hotel amenities - Fitness center, Pool, Restaurants(s), Business center, High-speed internet, Spa Booked through betterbidding's HOTWIRE link. Based on your info I was pretty confident that HOTWIRE was showing us the Sheraton, and I was concerned that PRICELINE was going to be a bit more of a crapshoot. We got the hotel we wanted!
  2. Correct...the booking is for one night. I realized afterward that I'd forgotten to book thru the savingsbarn.com link - apologies for that. Although I don't book hotels aften, on the occasions that I do I've found this site to be invaluable. I'll be making a supporting contribution via Paypal shortly.
  3. Bid on 3* Downtown, $50 - bid was rejected Added Scarborough-Pickering, bid $55 - bid was rejected Added Toronto East, bid $60 - bid was accepted! It looked like there was a good chance I'd either hit on the Delta Chelsea or this one, and my preference was the Marriott - so it's worked out well! Thanks betterbidding!
  4. Sorry...should have added that you can return the car directly to the airport prior to your departure from Miami.
  5. I'm also cruising on April 18th, and we arrive in Miami the day before. I was recently able to get the Hyatt Regency for the Saturday night for $40 via Priceline. The Hyatt has a Thrifty on site, which may be handy if you rent a car at FLL. I've booked an intermediate size car for the day the cruise gets back (April 25th), for a base price of $26.95, through the Thrifty website. Thrifty provides shuttle service between the hotel and the port, although I think you'll incur an extra cost on the rental to cover port tax if you use this service.
  6. I ran into the same problem as some of the others when using my Canadian VISA card on priceline.com. I was attempting to bid on a 3* hotel in downtown Miami. I switched over to priceline.co.uk, after using a currency converter to approximate the USD cost in British pounds. Canadian addresses fit nicely into the form (using the county field to hold the province). I'd read on another forum that the telephone number might be a problem, so I followed the advice I saw there and prefixed my number with 020, followed by area code, followed by the first 5 digits of the number, and put the last 2 digits in the extension field. Not sure if this was necessary, but it worked, and my bid of 21 GBP (approx. $40 US) for a 3* hotel in downtown Miami was accepted.
  7. I've recently had success with this hotel as well, although the history of the bid is a bit convoluted. First bid of $35 was rejected, specifying Miami Downtown as the only area. Re-bid of $40 seemed to get a hit, after adding in North Miami as a target area (knowing that this area has no 3* hotels listed). Unfortunately, I ran into the problems posted elsewhere regarding using a Canadian VISA credit card, and got stopped. I switched over to priceline.co.uk, which seemed to be aware of my first bid for $35, since it wouldn't let me do that again. A bid at 21 GBP (roughly $40 US), specifying Miami Downtown and North Miami, was successful. I got my price of 21 GBP for a 3-star hotel room. Hyatt Regency Miami Miami Downtown 400 SE Second Ave. Miami, Florida 33131 305-358-1234 Check-In Date: Sat, Apr 17, 2004 Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Sun, Apr 18, 2003 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: 21.00 GBP Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: 21.00 GBP Taxes and Service Fees: 6.15 GBP Total Charges: 27.15 GBP (approx. $50 USD) Note that I'll add to the post on bidding tips for Canadians as well, explaining how I was able to overcome the credit card problem.
