Rejected again, up to $165 for MTE. going to give up on this one and pay hyatt.com rate at the Grand Hyatt and then use an upgrade certificate I have. thanks anyway, Chris

Amenities are... "Business Center, Laundry Facilities (self-service)." and the hotel was "Best Value" for 3.5*. As a note of warning, I searched Hotwire for a package of air/hotel for the same dates first, and only one 3.5* hotel came up in this zone (The Melia Colbert Boutique Hotel, with Boutique and Laundry as the amenities) - this hotel ( Villa Luxembourg) didn't come up at all in the packages search. When I booked, I got this hotel. In doing some re-checking around 5 minutes after I made this purchase, this hotel was no longer shown on Hotwire, but a hotel with the Boutique/Laundry amenities was suddenly showing, when it hadn't been 5 minutes before. Again, though, should still be a good hotel, just not the great location of the Melia Colbert. cheers Chris

Villa Luxembourg 121 Blvd Du Montparnasse Paris, 75006 France 2 room(s) @ $123.00 per night x 4 night(s) $984.00 Hotel Taxes and fees: $88.39 Hotel Subtotal $1,072.39 Total Price $1,072.39 Was worried about bidding 2 rooms on Priceline for 4* in this zone, and also getting the Sofitel, not Le Meridien, which is a much better hotel, so made a rash decision to go with this on Hotwire believing it to be a different hotel. Subsequently discovered only saved $15 over www.activehotels.com, who don't require upfront payment. Oh well, still looks like a nice hotel. cheers Chris

OK, had another go... Bid $140, 4* Mid Town East, Rejected Added free rebid zone at $145, Rejected Added free Rebid zone at $150, Rejected Going to think about this, as this is getting pricey! cheers Chris

Bid $110, 4* Mid Town East, Rejected Added free rebid zone at $115, Rejected Added free Rebid zone at $120, Rejected Going to wait 72 hours and go up in $5's again. cheers Chris

went to $70 through SavingsBarn and had girlfriend bid, REJECTED, then i bid $73, ACCEPTED... Hyatt West Hollywood On Sunset 3/17 - 3/20. Thanks! Chris

yeah, I think the Hyatt West Hollywood (Selected amenities include: Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Business Center. - 3 1/2* on Hotwire) $97 is still there for the dates I'm looking at... Would you agree this is the Hyatt? cheers Chris

mmm... bid $68.00 through savingsbarn, rejected with... "Try Again Right Now. We're sorry, but we couldn't find a hotel willing to accept your offer of $68 for a hotel room in the Los Angeles - Central L.A. area. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number 212-xxx-xxx-xx. To try your request again, change one or more items with a check. Or, see available prices for your trip right now at Lowestfare.com." In another forum, someone payed $73 for the Hyatt West Hollywood at the end of February. A couple of thoughts... I'm bidding from a non-US country, but have formatted our address US style as mentioned in this forum. Would it be possible that our card is being rejected as being from a foreign country? Any thoughts? cheers Chris

Thanks thereuare! This sounds like a good strategy for me, have read your pm and will do. I'll wait out the next 72 hours, and try the $64, and if rejected, will get my girlfirend to bid at $68. The Hyatt appears to be $94 on Hotwire, so we'd be happy with up to $70. Thanks again Chris

Tried bidding $60, 3*, (Beverly Hills - West Hollywood) on 2/18/05 then waited 72 hours and tried $65, 3*, (Beverly Hills - West Hollywood) for stay on 3/17-3/20 both bids neither was accepted. Greater than $65 seems to high for 3* in this zone, as most people seem to get Hyatt West Hollywood for around $57. This is the only zone I'd like to stay in, any suggestions of how to proceed? Thanks Chris
