First bid was accepted. I've stayed here before so I'm really happy with this great deal!

Linked to PRICELINE through this site as usual (even when I forget to post my winnings)

Cheers!

I started out on 3/8 with a bid of $50 for a 4-Star i the Downtown area. It was rejected.

On 3/9 (though not 24 hrs later) I added an area of San Diego with no 4-stars (Point Loma-Shelter Island-Old Town) to my Downtown-Harbor Island search and raised the bid to $56. It was rejected - however with the rejection it told me that if I was willing to raise my bid by $17 I would be able to search again immediately. I've never had this offered to me before so I figured I would give it a shot. The bid for $73 was accepted!

This was all linked through the PRICELINE link on this website, of course :)

One thing that I noticed was that the $5 trip insurance was added to my bill and I don't recall selecting it. I noticed the offer the first time I bid on 3/8 but not on 3/9. It's not a huge deal but I probably wouldn't have spend the $5 on it. So that, the room taxes and such brings my total for $95.28. I can live with that :)

I booked this hotel yesterday, Thursday, September 17th around 3pm.

My first bid was for $50 and it was immediately accepted (which always makes me think I should have tried lower)

They booked us at the Hyatt Regency and the total with taxes and fees was $63.92

Other information....

When I logged into the Hyatt site it showed that they had us booked into a King room, which normally is my preference but there is a chance we will have our kids with us so two beds would work better. I realize that they only garuntee double occupancy through PRICELINE but I thought I would check with the hotel.

When I called the hotel, they identified that I had booked through Priceline (not in a negative way, just stated it) and when I put in the request for two beds she said she would make a note of it and to ask when I checked in. She also put in for a roll-away bed just in case they weren't able to make the switch (very helpful and nice). Nothing was said about an additional fee so I guess we'll see what happens when we check in this afternoon!
