Update on this thread - have been bidding for this hotel (using the savingsbarn.com PRICELINE link) on a weekly basis - Up to $140 - and still no luck. Will post again when I'm successful.

That's great help. Thank you.

Hi, this is my first post here and I must say, this is a terrific forum, keep up the good work!!!

My party and I (4 rooms total) is looking for a one night stay with details below:

Saturday April 19, 2008

Star Level: Resort

Priceline Region: San Juan

Max bid: $150

Three questions:

1) Can you provide a bidding Strategy

2) I have another group that is travelling with me that is considering stayinig an extra day in San Juan with an additional 4-5 rooms (8-9 rooms total). I know Priceline can take all these rooms with one bid all at once, but I'm not sure how the system works. Is it more difficult for the system to place 9 rooms all at once or should I separate it into two separate bids? And is the service fee a fixed charged (i.e. no matter how many rooms I book) so that I'm better off booking all the rooms together?

3) My fiance and I plan to stay till Tuesday April 22 (3 nights total). I know that after a successful bid, Priceline offers an "extend your stay" option. If I choose this option, can I extend one room only or must it be 4 rooms together? Second, is it better off for me to bid separately since I assume that the extra days I'm staying there (Sunday and Monday) are less busy and thus maybe getting the room at a cheaper rate? Is that a save assumption?

Thanks very much and appreciate your help.
