Hi Everyone Upon some further research I decided to go back and use PRICELINE.com. I bid and won the Grand Hyatt. Thanks Just to let you know I bid on this intially as $77.00 as I was hoping to get the Intercontinental as the previous weekend "wins" went for this price of $77 so I took a chance hoping if I bid that exact amount I would get it. AS it happens, I was refused probably because my stay extends into the following week and my departure is on Wednesday. I believe this was more of a weekend rate. It then said that I could re-bid again "BUT" only if i was to bid $22.00 on top of my initial $77.00. It was late and I debated what to do and tried going back on the board to see if there was any info on this "you must bid $22.00 now if you would like to re-bid" but could not find anything. My previous experience I just seem to recall re-bidding for a few nights with the help of Betterbidding.com and I got exactly what I wanted. Anyways I re-bid the extra $22.00 and the Grand Hyatt comes up with the winning bid!!! I was quite taken back because this is the hotel I initially wanted but did not think I would get so I figured I better hope to get the Intercontinental. Its funny how things work out some times...I am very happy! :) Grand Hyatt Atlanta September 25/09 to September 30/09 $99.00 Thanks!

Hi Everyone I am seeing a 4* for $114.00 with the amenities fitness center, pool, restaurant and business center for September 24/29. Hoping for Grand Hyatt or Intercontinental but I think it might be the W. Can anyone confirm. Thanks

May 14-18 Grand Cayman Resort $100.00 per night.

Done! :)

Woohoo!! My first try at your suggestion of $100 and bang got it on the first shot!! Very Happy thanks for your help I very much appreciate it! I'll be back! :)

Thanks Flightmedic I am there for other reasons than a vacation but I am trying to get abit of R/R while there and the Marriott is in the area I need to be. But I do appreciate the input and I would heed your advice if I was on vacation as I love to swim in the ocean. Just recently I read that this "dreaded wall" you are referring has now been removed. Thanks again :)

Excellent!! I have a starting point. The Beach Suites would be fine too and probably alot nicer but the Marriott is closer to where I need to be during my stay and yes I will get back to you with how it works out. Thanks again! :)

Sorry I wll be staying until the 18.

The two dates I was playing with on Priceline were May 13/14. If I could get a really low rate I would go on the 13 if the rate is much higher than I anticipate I will go on the 14. If you could give me a range to work with as I know that I am underbidding by alot I will be able to determine the exact date. Thanks! :)

Thanks for you reply and sorry about the previous post I am not sure what I did to repost my original post. I will be traveling in the middle of May around the 13 and 20. I believe its low season down their. I did go back and check yes it was a Hotwire post, I did not realize when I first came upon there was a difference between the two. I am not sure what to start at tonight if the red bar has no significance. I guess I should just stay low and see happens!

Hi I unsuccessfully tried to book a few days at Marriott ( Trip Advisor says for the most part the 4 * in this category is the Marriott)in May through Priceline.com last night and my bid was rejected. Not surprised and not knowing what to expect I bid quite low as I started at $50 then went to $75 on my second try. The red bar at the bottom did state that my bids were probably to low for this area. So I get to try again later this evening. As I came across this site this morning I was not sure if I could bid again through this site presently or do I have to wait the mandatory 24 hours regardless of whether I am on Priceline or Better bidding? I did notice that as I was playing around with the bid process that if I put $80 as my bid the red bar does not appear but reappears when I put in $75(I did not go past this point). Should I start my bid at $80 tonight or should I keep trying to put in a lower bid of $75 or lower and maybe it will be excepted eventually? I could afford to wait another 7-10 to see if I could get the lowest price. Also I am traveling alone and have indicated this. I did notice another thread for the Intercontinental hotel (possibly San Juan) on March 14 that they could not get the room listed as 2 persons but could get it as 3 persons. I was wondering what happens in this case if there really is only two of you and you indicate three? Would I have a better shot at getting the room if I indicate 2 instead of 1? I did try to research what other people have had for winning bids but did not have any luck. This is a great site, lots of interesting information but after a few hours of reading I am now suffering information overload.LOL Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
