Started bidding at $39. and increased it by $2. each day. Three times I received the invitation to rebid at $57, but I didn't bite. I started each bid from the [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link on the betterbidding website. Vintage

That was my assumption. I really don't want to be more than half a mile from the convention center. I'm thinking too that bidding won't be an option this time around. Vintage

Any tips on bidding for a 3 star or higher hotel within walking distance of the convention center? Vintage

I have used the BetterBidding banner to begin my Priceline bids many times over the years. I have also tried to follow up on any questions. I tried accessing the links indicated in your response, but nothing is there. One question-- Today I received one of those $7./night off offers from Priceline. Is there a way I can use that and also initiate the bidding through BetterBidding? Vintage

My wife and I are planning to drive to NYC from southeast PA on a Sunday, returning Monday. Our preference would be to get a hotel outside the city and take public transportation in to the city in order to save on hotel and parking cost. Any suggestions? Vintage

Bid at $38. lost, suggested additional bid at $48. didn't do it. Bid at $41. lost, suggested additional bid at $48. didn't do it. Won at $45. Best Western Inn, Goshen. Vintage

Started bidding at $39., increased bid by $3. At $42. was given the option to bid again at $51. Didn't do it. At $45. given the option to bid again at $51. Didn't do it. Vintage

Started bidding with White House - $45, added Dupont Circle - $50., added Convention Center - $55., added Georgetown Foggy Bottom - $60. Went through Betterbidding PRICELINE link. Vintage

I called to confirm the room and to request a king-size bed rather than the two doubles [for our anniversary weekend getaway]. I was told they can not do that, but only mark it down as a "preference". I saw others had had some success with receiving a preferred room or upgrade when tipping the person at the front desk for "excellent service". I'd be glad to hear of anyone's experience with this at this hotel. Vintage

My win was the Washington Marriott Wardman Park and I did do my bidding and purchase through the PRICELINE link here on betterbidding. Vintage

I began bidding at $55. a few days ago, increasing two dollars each bid. Three bids each day, for the areas of Dupont Circle, Georgetown and White House. Happy with a $69. win. Vintage

Won on first bid of $40. Courtyard by Mariott at Toledo Airport Holland. Vintage

I have continued bidding and was still denied at $65. I decided to drive farther to Toledo and just won a 3* in Toledo-Holland for my first bid of $40. Vintage

I've bid the past few days for one night (12/1), and continue to be declined. My bid today was for $53. Vintage

one night on 6, failed so far, $30., $35., $41., and $46. Vintage

Failed again for Effingham-- one night 6/15, $46. yesterday and $51. today. Thereuare, I was a bit confused, I'll keep working at it. Vintage

Failed at $30. yesterday and failed again today at $35. Vintage

Failed again today for Effingham at $40. Vintage

I tried and failed at a $30. bid for one night in Terre Haute next week at the 2 star level-- the highest available. Vintage

I was declined a bid of $35. for Effingham today. Yes, I realize Terre Haute is in IN and should not be in this forum. Sorry. Vintage

Any experience at either of these? Effingham has max of 2.5 stars and Terre Haute 2 stars. I would prefer 2.5 stars, but was rejected at $30. at Effingham today. Plan on trying $35. tomorrow. This is for 1 night in about one week from now. Vintage
