Started at $30 and increased $5 per free rebid. Really glad I got this over the Courtyard. I've heard good things bout this hotel.

If I remember correctly, the price on their website was $129 CAD per night (~111 USD per night) sot this is a savings of over 60%! (64% to be exact)

Thanks for the reply. My only concern is that the people I will be bidding for will be flying in from London and if there is a problem, it will be a long distance call. How many people have successfully added a name to a priceline reservation?

You can add me to the banned list :) . What a joke. I guess posting the same question on two different boards is a No-No, since I got banned as soon as my question was posted on this board. If her time is so "valuable" why is she checking up on people on this board?????? Is it possible to ban her from viewing this board??

>>>Hi sheryl, I know you are reading this. Shouldn't you be using your precious time ripping off some poor soul's head for not reading the FAQ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I may need to help a relative from overseas book a hotel when they visit and wanted to know if I could put both our names on the reservation (in case their flight gets delayed/cancelled, I can check in for them so they don't risk losing their reservation). Would there be a problem puting my full name in the "First Name" box and my cousins full name in the "Last Name" box?

Has anyone ever used the add-a-night feature? Can you be rejected from adding nights? I am thinking of bidding for 4 nights in Markham, Canada for a 3* hotel. The 4th night rates are much higher than the previous 3 nights. If I can't get a bid accepted for the 4 nights and bid for 3 nights and use the add a night feature can I be rejected?

I was just searching for hotels in Killington, VT and see a 3* with

Boutique

Restaurant(s)

Fitness Center

Airport Shuttle

Pool(s)

Spa Services

Children's Activity Program

Tennis Nearby

Could this be the previously reported 3.5* Cortina Inn?

I will definitely let everyone know if we do go for this, but as of today, it looks as if we're leaning more towards bahamas at this point.

I was just checking prices for San Juan Rio Grande - Humacao for 7/13-7/17 and hotwire came up with this 5* all inclusive hotel. Anyone know what it is?

Overall, pretty happy since I was unsucessful bidding for 4* (will give recap of bidding in a separate topic).

Just for future information:

You don't need to close your browser. All you need to do is click on the "Priceline" logo at the top left and it will take you to the home page again. But then the next question is if you started the priceline page from savingsbarn then you do what i suggest, would savingsbarn still get the referral?

this was won by bidding in the coastal zone. It really sucks that priceline grouped a few area and called it "coastal" since one end of this zone is far from the other end.
