Will likely submit my first Priceline bid for airfare. It is running from the Chicago area to Vegas during the time we want to go (1st/2nd week in August) anywhere between $300-$400 max. I'm going to submit a $100 bid + the $39.95 in fees. I figure the worst they'll say is no. And, I've bidding for 4 tickets as we have 4 in our group. Those weeks in August are Vegas' slowest time. Flights are cut back on all the discount airlines (Allegiant, Jet Blue, Spirit etc...) which is as much of a minus as a plus. So I ask, Am I nuts to think there is ANY chance this bid gets accepted?? If/when it gets rejected, I will probably up it once or twice in $40 installments--but I figure this is like buying a house, make that first offer low b/c you can never go back down again.
