  1. I had bid for 4* in Downtown and Convention Center-Arts District to $110 without even getting a rebid offer, so lowered to 3.5*.

    Based on my past experience it appears that Priceline has changed their free rebid offer formula, in this case I got a free rebid offer on an $80 bid, they wanted me to add $20, I was able to bid up in $1 increments (I was able to get that many by adding in Downtown during the process), and I did not hit until $93. I have never had to add that much to a rebid to get an accepted offer before. I had suspected this had changed before, but this example strongly confirms my suspicion.

  5. Six days ago I had gotten the Doubletree for $55/night (see this thread) ... six days later it cost $25/night more to get a hotel for the same night, though I would say the hotel that came up is worth the extra money!
