I bid 4* rating only starting at $120, $125, $130, $135, $140, $142, $145 for Chelsea, MSG, MTE, MTW, CPS, TS and ESB and won 70 Park Avenue, A Kimpton Hotel for $148 + taxes ($186.82). We love the Kimpton brand and have stayed at Kimpton Palormar in Dupont Circle, DC. We hope 70 Park Avenue would not disappoint. I used your PRICELINE link for my bidding!

Read a few reviews online with noise complaints. Crossing our fingers and hoping that we will have a good experience.

I tried $70, $73 and won it $76 + taxes = $95.09.

I bid 5 stars from $110+$5 bonus up to $140+$5 bonus - no success. I bid 4 stars from $ 80+$5 bonus up to $95+$5 bonus. I won Mercure Hotel Amsterdam Aan De Amstel $223.88 USD total. I was expecting Movenpick. I hope Mercure is okay for our needs. I used your PRICELINE link to place my bids.

I think it is Times Square but I could be wrong. We only picked TS and MTW as those 2 are the preferred areas.

I have been bidding on my daughter's behalf for the last few days going as high as $165 with no luck for MTW, TS, ESB, CPS. Today, I bid $135 and got a counteroffer of $169. I opened a new browser, bid $140 (failed)and $145 (failed), receiving the same counteroffer of $169. We then bid at $150 and got it. Sorry, I forgot to give her your PRICELINE link. Room Subtotal: $300.00 Taxes: $55.78 Fees: $17.24 Total Charged to Card: $371.02

Successful bid at $95 + $7 bonus = $102 for 2 nights, Nov 10 and 11, 2012. I started off with 5* The Bund Center-Luwan at $60 + 6 free bids to $90 + $7 bonus, no success - closed browser and restarted bids. 5* Huangpu-Downtown Puxi at $60 + 6 free bids to $90 + $7 bonus ; no success - closed browser and restarted bids. 5* The Bund Centre-Luwan and 5* Huangpu-DT Puxi at $95 + $7 bonus and won JW Marriott Shanghai at Tomorrow Square. Expedia is showing this hotel at $226 + taxes per night. I used your PRICELINE link for all my bids.

Since the previous poster, okeykeke, was successful with his bid of the 4* MTE hotel, Intercontinental The Barclay at $180, I gave it a try as well. I started at $135, added zones at $5 incremental and got the same hotel, Intercontinental The Barclay, for $180 as well. I used your PRICELINE link.

What a great rate! I wish it was available for Sep 8th!

I bid for one night, Sep 8, 2012. I know it is the US Open weekend so hotel prices would be high. 4* bid from $120 to $205 for MTW, TS, MTE, ESB, CPS - no luck 3.5* bid from $120 to $165 for MTW, TS, MTE, ESB, CPS - no luck I used your PRICELINE link for all bids. I will try again tomorrow.

I started bidding 3 days ago from $90 to $100 (1st day), from $90 to $110 (2nd day) and finally from $95 to $115 (today) and got the Hyatt Regency. It says on my itinerary that the city zone is at the Convention Centre - Old Montreal - Latin Quarter. I used your PRICELINE link to make my bids.

I just won 3.5* Marriott New York East Side for $130 + $5 Bonus Cash. My max bid was $145 + $5 bonus. I started my 4* bids with DT at $100 + $5 bonus cash, increasing $5 each time to ESB, Chelsea, MTE, MTW, HK, MSG, CPS, TS and UES to $145 + $5 bonus (no success) I dropped my bids to 3.5*, using same strategy and won it at $130 + $5 = $135 Bonus Cash: $5.00 Offer Price: $130.00 Rooms: 3 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $780.00 Taxes & Fees: $175.08 Total Charged to Card: $955.08 I used your PRICELINE link for all my searches and bids.

Don't be disappointed. Sometimes last minute bidding works, sometimes it doesn't. I bid both 4* and 3.5* using the same strategy. I was just going through the motion of bidding, not expecting to win at 4* and was ready to move on to 3.5*. This stay is for my daughter and her friend. I am currently bidding 3* and up for my stay, Nov 5 - 7 (3 rooms), and not winning anything up to $170 + taxes and no cash bonus too since it is for < 3 nights. We may end up staying at our back-up hotel in LIC.

I just won 4* Grand Hyatt (MTE) for $126 + $9 bonus cash (which expires today) for 3 nights - Nov 11 to Nov 14, 2011. This was my 4th bid since I started bidding a couple of nights ago. Started bid at $96 + $9 bonus cash for DT/Soho, increased at $5 increment each and added ESB, Chelsea, MTE, MTW, HK and finally MSG and won bid. Bonus Cash: $9.00 Offer Price: $126.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $378.00 Taxes & Fees: $91.56 Total Charged to Card: $469.56 I used your PRICELINE link for all my searches and bids.

I forgot to say that I did use your PRICELINE link.

Areas included in my bid - Notting Hill - Bayswater - $80 Chelsea - Knightsbridge - $85 Earl's Court - Kensington - $90 Westminster - $95 Bloomsbury - Marbe Arch - $100 TheCity and London Bridge - $105 Mayfair - Soho - $110

I bid 4* x 3 rooms for one night, Aug 13 to Aug 14, 2011, Mexico City (Reforma). My bids were at $55, $58 and $61 + $5 bonus cash (success). I got the Sheraton Maria Isabel. We would prefer the Hilton but Sheraton is okay for our last night in Mexico City. In another post, I mentioned that I booked our first 3 night in Mexico City with Expedia at $78 per night. We are still exploring our options as to where we will stay during Aug 8 to 13. I used the PRICELINE link to make my bids.

I started to bid for 3 rooms, 4* from Aug 5 to Aug 8, 2011 (3 nights). I have a $25 bonus cash allocated as follows: $2.78 per room x 3 nights x 3 rooms. I started at $50, $55, $57, $59 and $61 + $2.78 ($63.78) - no success and no counteroffer. Expedia has a 48 hour sale on Melia (Reforma) at $78.10 per night (cancellable) - we will just book this one. I used your Expedia link to make my booking. Thanks

Priceline deposited $25 bonus cash in my account yesterday which expires on Feb 20 (tomorrow) - max of $5/night. So I started bidding again for 4* USW from $75 to $100 ($5 increments) + $5 cash bonus - no success and no counter-offer. I closed the browser and started at $75 for 4* USE up to $100 + $ 5 bonus - no success and no counter-offer. So I followed slruud's suggestion and booked my daughter with lastminutetravel.com at $99/night + taxes and got Clift Hotel (4* USE-Nob Hill) = $234.10 total for 2 nights. My daughter is okay with this hotel. Thanks to thereuare and sluurd's help with this booking - much appreciated.

Thereuare, thanks for the bidding strategy, but no success on 4* USW and USE and 3.5* Fisherman's wharf. Mar 26-28 must be a busy weekend. For both USE and USW, we went as high as $115 + $5 (increasing our last free rebid by $10) wiithout success and no counteroffer. For Fisherman's wharf, we went as high as $95 + $5 (increasing our last free rebid by $10) without success and no counteroffer. My daughter didn't want to bid in the Financial District. Our $5 bonus/day has expired ... therefore there is no rush now ... we'll take it slowly, rebidding again after a day or two. I used your PRICELINE link for my bids.

Hi thereuare, My daughter is interested in including USE in her bids. Please suggest a strategy. Her $5 bonus/day expires tomorrow. Her max for 3.5* Fisherman's Wharf is $90 + $5 bonus and she is willing to go as high as $115 + $5 bonus for 4* USW and USE. Thanks Verga

I did the following bids for to get 4* in USW and 3.5* in Fisherman's Wharf: 4* from $85 to $110 + $5 bonus ($115), increasing by $5 ... no success and no counteroffer (USW, Civic, Fisherman, Marina, SFO North & SSF). I didn't add Soma as her max was $110 + $5. 3.5* from $65 to $85 + $5 bonus ($90), increasing by $5 ... no success and no counteroffer (Fisherman, Civic, Marina, SSF North and SSF). It must be a pretty busy weekend. My daughter will research USE and will let me know tonight if she wants to bid in that area. I used your PRICELINE link.

My daughter prefers to stay at a 4* USW-Nob Hill hotel with a max daily rate of $100 + taxes. I bid 4* USW, Civic and Fisherman at $85, $90 and $95 + $5 bonus per day (max of $25 bonus which expires on Feb 14/11) - all bids failed and there was no counteroffer. Then, I suggested that she tries Fisherman's Wharf up to $83. So, I bid 3.5* for Fisherman, Civic, Marina, SFO North and South SF at $55, $60, $63, $68 and $77 + $5 bonus - again all bids failed and there was no counteroffer. I will bid for her again tomorrow. I used your PRICELINE link.

Thanks for the recommendation. We went to Jackson Hole and the burgers were big and yummy. The Kitano hotel was great as well:)

One kid cannot make the trip due to work commitment. The other kid will stay with a friend in NYC for one night ...so decided to bid for a room in Manhattan for us (parents). I started my bid from $115, increasing in increments of $5 for TS, MTE, CPS, MTW, Chelsea and ESB. I got it at $160 (less my $40 groupon) - total with taxes = $160.95 I checked the hotel reviews at tripadvisor...it caters mostly to Japanese tourists, but hotel looks okay. I used your PRICELINE link to make the purchase.
