I know I'm crying about paying $45.00 for a $99.00 room. Still a great deal! As a Priceline Junkie, I love to squeeze every dollar I can.

I had a Priceline $5.00 per night coupon. I stay in Edison NJ area 3 times a year and have never paid more than $41.00 for a 3* or better. Started bidding $32.00 plus $5.00=$37.00 bid. Denied Took 8 rebids working my way to $45.00 plus $5.00 for a total bid of $50.00. I think the priceline coupon is bogus

First Bid $59.00 4 star Downtown Phila.--Rejected but Priceline countered with $78.00 I opened a new window and bid $49.00 3-1/2*. Rejected but priceline countered with $58.00 I opened a new window and split the difference between $49 and $58. I added $5.00 to the $49.00 and rebid $54.00 3-1/2. Not that $58.00 wasn't a bad price but I had to be greedy and see if I could save $4.00. Spending Xmas Eve at my daughters apartment and it just happens this is only 3 blocks away. The rack rate is $144.00 What a sweet deal!! Merry Christmas

I think this is a new area. Got it on first bid. There are no rebid at the 3* level and time was short Used Your PRICELINE Link

I saw in another post that this hotel went for $55.00 last weekend. I have stayed before at the Crown Plaza ( formerly Sheraton ) for $55.00. With many free rebids I started at $49.00 at 3-1/2* and worked my way up to $65.00 over two days and was rejected. Tried 3* up to $65.00 and was rejected. Finally went to $68.00 for 3* and was upgraded to 3-1/2*. Come on for $68.00!! This is Reading PA. we're talking about , not New York City!!! I started out using your PRICELINE link but at the end I had 5 screens open and most likly didn't get the winning bed through you. It got pretty confusing. Sorry.

Bid $41.00 3 * Fishkill-Rejected Add Free re-bid Fishkill and Newburg $46.00--Accepted I've stayed here before. Hotel is nice but really needs a updated face lift, but for $46.00 it's the best deal in town. Used your PRICELINE Link to Bid

This may be a new Hotel not listed before. Bid $46.00-3* Neptune--Rejected Priceline countered with a $13.00 raise ($59.00 ) I opened a new PRICELINE window and split the $13.00 in half and bid $53.00 with the free rebid of Hazlet. $53.00 accepted-Residence Inn. I have found if Priceline gives you a counter, to divide it in half and add it to your original bid and try again. I've never been rejected with this method. Used your PRICELINE link each time.

There is not much info out there about Salisbury. Tried 3* $46.00-Rejected Tried 2.5* $46.00-Accepted

Started with Frederick 3* $45.00-Rejected Used free rebid Hagerstown-3* $50.00-Rejected Open new window 2-1/2* $45.00-Rejected--PRICELINE made counter offer at $58.00 ( $13.00 ) I declined Waited 24 hours Start again Frederick 3* $51.00-Rejected Used free rebid Hagerstown-3* $56.00-Rejected Opened new window 2-1/2* $52.00-Accepted I have found if PRICELINE gives you a counter offer, you can cut it in half and rebid. In this case I had no rebids at 2-1/2* so I waited 24 hours and won at $52.00 ( $45.00 plus $7.00)

Started bid at 4* $79.00 Hollywood-Rejected Used free rebid Hollywood/Culver City 4* $85.00-Rejected Opened new window used free rebid Hollywood/Redondo Beach 4* $90.00 Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Can't Wait
