I have been bidding everyday for about a month for a 4* without luck. I bid up to $125 in other zones every day. Finally, I chose this zone and took $20 off my failed bid of $117 for zones Champs, Opera West, Opera East, and St. Germain. I honestly did not think it would be a successful bid. I don't think I'm too excited about it, but nonetheless it is over and I can cancel my backup. This zone is a little too far out than I would have liked, but it is in zone 2 for the Metro. Final details. Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$97.00 Subtotal: US$582.00 Taxes and Services Fees: US$63.06 Total Charges: US$645.06 On a side note: I also bid up to $175 daily for a 5*. I alternated the 2 zones daily. I never received a counter.

I began by bidding $55 for a 4* in the French Quarter. I added rebid zones and increased my bids to $80. Nothing was accepted. So, I added Downtown and rebid $55. Bid was accepted for the Sheraton. $71.03 after tax.

I have been trying to book my nephew a room in Rome for over a month. I think he is going to be very disappointed. Bettoja Mediterraneo Rome looks pretty drab. He wanted a 5*, but his max was $215 a night with tax. I started bidding at $135 and went all the way up to $205 before tax. I did this several times over a three week period. The best response was a $223 before tax counter offer per night. He opted to go for a 4*. I began at $125 and received a counter to increase by $22. I rejected & waited. I repeated the same scenario and increased by $5 per night. At $135 Priceline countered with $145. I can't recall ever seeing such a small counter before. I rejected and waited. I increased by$3 and my bid was accepted. PRICELINE and Rome don't mesh well. I have always booked an apt. when visiting Rome. I advise others, as I advised my nephew, to do the same. At least the mods can add a new hotel to the list.
