I have bid only once on airfare about 3 years ago. See Link below. It did work out great! Since then I have not been that flexible on the times connections for flights. Now that economic times are better I don't see the "PriceLine" Name your price deals. However I find Cars and Hotels in HotWire more often then PriceLine. Someone needs to post the best way to monitor airfair prices. They can dip very low for a short period but I don't see an easy "free" way to watch for that on specific dates. Here is the link from my great deal three years ago. Its was Virgin American direct flight just wonderful! I don't see deals out of IAD all that often for the WDC area BAL is the often the lost cost departure point. Good luck. Priceline Airfare Deal

Looking for a 9 day Mini-Van rental for a driving trip. Did a regular PRICELINE search and was going to be almost $700. Was going to do a Price Line Bid but tried HOTWIRE 1st. Got a "Hot Rate" for $29 a day also opted for the $9 a day insurance so total with tax was about $450 so that sure beats the regular price of over $60 a day. It ended up being National after purchase.

Still bidding up to $70 with no luck.

Thanks for the tip on the coupon. I did find you can print them on-line. Today I re-bid. Started at 4 * $65 then when to 3 1/2 * at $66 still no luck. I did see yesterday the Hilton on Priceline was possible without bid with a teaser for $79 but that was a one queen special access room. But you need to pay $89 for a two queen. Talked to priceline in on-line chat and they did not offer anything better. I will probably try one more bid cycle then see if I can get the $89 for two queens. I have stayed at this Hilton twice before using a price line bid. Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link as usual.

I have completed about three bidding cycles with price line I am up to $62 and have not won the Hilton East Brunswick yet. I have used price line the last two years to get a Hotel in this area and it has been the Hilton both times. Last year it was around $60 I think. Ill let you know how the next round goes. I have made a backup reservation at a near by Holiday Inn.

Just to keep you all up to date. I have bid up to $61 now. Going to look for a safety hotel using the Better Bidding hotel list for Dayton.

Well up to $50 with Hubber, Dayton North and Northwest still no win yet.

Using the PRICELINE link Started with Dayton North at $35 then added Huber at $37 then added Northwest at $39. All at 3 star. I am afraid of going to 2.5 star as the Ramada Plaza has some very bad reviews. The Ramada Plaza is Dayton North. So if I do have to go to 2.5 star I will need to remove Dayton North. I am out of bids for now. I really want to stay to the North side of Dayton. Troy. Oh does not seem to be in PriceLine or that might be good. I'll report back the results of my next bidding session is a quest for Dayton Rooms. I wonder if anyone thinks its harder to get bids accepted when you need more then one room?

Well after a couple more bidding attempts I was offering $63 for a mini van.( I used the BB PRICELINE link). The $63 was not accepted and I got the screen the "negotiator" could not get me a deal but offered a (limited time) Alamo Deal for $58. This $58 is less then my did price of $63. This seems is just a normal reservation I guess with Alamo and I would pay when the rental is returned. That is what the PRICELINE screen said pay when you return the van. So I took the reservation for $58 and will let you know if there are any problems. Maybe because everyone is watching the super bowl they offered a lower price? Any way much less then my safety reservation of over $800.

Still trying just bid $50 for a Minivan and then tried a full size SUV at $55 both no luck. I did see something on the priceline re-bid screen that said retail price was $58. Maybe in the next bid session i'll start with $58 or $60. My Mother-in-Law made a safety reservation for $850 for the week at Avis but I think I can do better then over $100 a day.

Two PriceLine bids so far $40 for a Mini-Van rebid for a Full Size SUV at $45. No joy so far.

Just won (East Brunswick-Edison) Hilton 5/10/12-5/12/12 3.5 $52 Used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link started at 4 * $50 with no luck did a re bid at $52 adding in 3.5* and got the Hilton Tower Center Blvd. This is the same hotel I got last year for $45 but when a tried $45 a a week ago did not win. This will due fine. Last year on Friday night at this hotel Ann Coulter was giving a speech and we happened to be in the lobby when she was leaving.

Just tried 3.5* & 4 * Somerset-Brunswick (East Brunswick-Edison) 5/10/12-5/12/12. Started at $45 4 * then added 3.5 * last year I won the Hilton East Brunswick for $45 I'll wait a couple days and try maybe $50 or even $60 at 4* for the one 4* in that zone. I used the BB PRICELINE link. I really just want that zone.

Did a ton of bids trying to get the biggest form of transportation for the lowest $$. I did not see much in Better Bidding other then compacts. Tried in the $30 to $50 range on SUV Standard, Mini Van, Premium, Luxury and made a ton of bids over the course of three days. Finally dropped down to Full Size and bid $42 and got AVIS on the first full size bid. Its spring break time so I guess $42 is OK. Five days and taxes put it about $282. Have not rented from AVIS in a long time hope they are still good. I think Advantage is an off shoot of AVIS they have tons of bad reviews. Advantage is in priceline but not part of the "Name Your Price" list. HOTWIRE had $51 for a Full Size so again PRICELINE name your own price was better. Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link to make the bids.

Just won 3* Philadelphia (Mt. Laurel) Wyndham Philadelphia - Started at 45 for 3 1/2 * Not sure if any 3 1/3 * or 4 star hotels exist in the Mt Laurel map. Would like to win the "LOFT" which is listed in priceline but I have not seen anyone win it yet. Also a new Hotel in the area Hilton Garden Inn, but the best published rate for them is $85. We have stayed at the Wyndham before. Its ok not the greatest kind of surprised its not down graded to maybe 2 1/2 *

Have tried so far the following for FLL Mar 31 to Apr 5 Full Size $20 Premium $30 This is around spring break time so not sure what the bottom price that will be accepted. I'll keep trying. Advantage who I have never used has a published price of $295 with a total of $383 I think I can do better then that published rate. I will rebid probably go with Full Size at 30 or 35 and see how that works. Price line is adding about $65 to the total 5 days for taxes. So a win at $30 would really end up being 42 with taxes etc.

I know this is not a hotel review site but the visit did not work out so well. The toilet did not flush and was not bolted down and had a wobble. Also the bathroom mirror was falling off and most of the bathroom lights were burned out. We checked in so late in the evening we did not complain and were checking out early the next morning. I'll put in a complaint to the Hotel WEB site.

Same priceline deal as back in Nov. Started at 3.5* @ $50 and on rebid did $55 and included 3* and got this Residence Inn at Bishops Gate. One time I would like to get the "W Hotel" which I think is in priceline but so far no luck. I'll take the Residence Inn with its Large Room, full Kitchen, indoor pool, free breakfast. Used Better Bidding Link for PRICELINE. FYI: If I would have done a direct buy from hotel web site it would have been about $100. PriceLine/BetterBidding saved me $45. Thanks

Started at 4 * then 3.5 * then finally 3 * each bid at $55. Got this same deal back in Sep 2011. This is a pretty new hotel has a full Kitchen, includes breakfast and has an indoor pool. I think they upgraded to flat screens from last year. Bishops Gate is an area a little out of the way but still not bad.

Yes it does replace that previous Thread.

Tried 3 1/2* at 55 with no luck re-bid changing to 3* and got the Residence Inn. This is one of the newest hotels in this Priceline zone. We have stayed there before. It has free breakfast and indoor pool. Did not get the Wyndham but this will do fine.

Just tried $ 55 for 4 * and did not win. Went back about 10 hours later in the morning and did two bids. $45 at 3.5 * then rebid $45 adding 3 * was hoping to get the Wyndham but no joy!. Will wait again and try tomorrow or Friday. Some of the 3* in this area can be kind of dumpy especially the Double Tree (Charges extra fees for PriceLine customers) and the ML Hotel was lets say well used!

Just tried $55 for the night of 9/24. Will probably go down to the 3 * and hope for the Wyndham that everyone seems to be getting.

Does anyone have an current info on what the 3 and half star hotels are in Williamsburg. The newest Hotel in Williamsburg is the Hampton on Bypass road but its only 3 * I am pretty sure. Looking for this weekend Sept 10th and 11th. Its a little off peak season so I expect prices to be dropping a little. Thanks

Based on some of the posts here started at $60 with a 3* for the Harrisburg-West Zone for 8/6/11 - 8/7/11. Won the Park Inn. I'll report back on the Hotel. Many of the Hotels in this area seem pretty high maybe do to the area being close to Hersey etc. This Hotel was ranked #4 on Trip Adviser.
