Thank you so much for this! I did reserve the Hyatt at $215, which seems much better than saving $20 or $30 and taking a risk at Hotwire or Priceline. We'll see how it works, though with the help of tilepusher's incredible id skills, I might monitor Hotwire and switch to that in a bit.

Thank you. Yes, I understand how to rebid -- the explanations on this site were great, which is how I placed my first three bids, but stopped to get some help. My "budget" is whatever it takes to get a good hotel (booking direct is around $350/night), but obviously would prefer to spend less. Hotwire is showing things in the 189-219 range (should post those to see if people can id), but I was hoping for an indication of what good priceline bids would be. If I need to bid near Hotwire, I'd probably rather go with HOTWIRE, since it seems easier to narrow down hotels and areas in Vancouver.

I am looking for a 4* hotel for before and after a cruise for 7/26 - 7/27 and 8/3 - 8/5 I have read others getting the Hyatt and the like for $85, so I bid $85, $95, and $101 for each of my dates and was rejected. I obviously have time, so I'm looking for bidding strategies and advice, and any other suggestions. Thank you in advance!
