Used a BB PRICELINE link to book a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $80 in austin central. Funny part is I bid $84 including this area & stars level and it didn't give it to me. Amenities listed were Wifi Pool Parking Restaurant Biz center Weight room

Started try to get Omni Austin South (IS NOW A 3.5* dropped .5). Bid the normal $50-$60 and nothing bit. Added 3* bid 50-60 nothing bit. Added 2.5* bid 50-60, nothing bit Added 2* bid 50-58. nothing took. Here is the weird part. The express deal for the same area/star is $58 but it wouldn't give me the bid. So I took the express deal of $58 for a nice 2* property (stayed here at least 5 times).

Tried a plethora of ways to try to pay less the the $49 express rate it gave me after about 22 failed attempts. Sadly the express rate was the best rate going. Still saved 51% over best listed rate. Thanks BB!

After extending My Omni Austin Southpark for $59 for an extra night (jumps to over $100 a night for the rest of the week) , we decided to go back to our favorite cheap Austin hotel. First bid of $46 was a winner, I have got them for as low as $36 so I should have started lower. Thanks BB!

Tried from $48 to $55 and won. Good chance you can get it in the $40's now that they have no events for awhile. Wo are these fools bidding &120 on a 3*? Thanks, BB

Another savings of 36% (lowers my average alot) by using BB. Started at my previous winning bid from a week ago, $62. Instantly offered me a $92 rate. I ran from $65 to $88, trying 2-3 dollar increase until I hit at $88 remember taxes will make this $110. If you want to get and least 1 extra chance on airport 3.5* add south west after your first fail. Have never seen anyone win a 3.5 start there. @IdeaJason

Tried every $2 from $36 to 48. From the very beginning it offered me a free spin at $50. When I eventually took it it booked me into the hotel I wanted. Free parking. wifi, breakfast, hot tub pool. I even tried the 3.5*s in the area at 50, 58, no joy. Thanks again BB! Another 45% savings! J

tried a few days ago for the Omni Southpark with a previous winning bid of $45, no go then they recommended the $62 price gave me another free spin. In between on other accounts I tried $50, $52, $58 all no go. I went back to the free spin and it hit on the Hilton which I have no complaints about for $65. Thanks BB now to do the next 7 nights in San Antonio. FYI: I added up all my savings from BetterBidding & Priceline and found that I save nearly 80% over rack rates & 53% over published sales at the time of booking. Last year alone that was $861 in savings. thanks, @IdeaJason

Tried to get a 3.5* for $61,$66, $75 all fails. Then switched to a 3* for $60, $65 both fails and won with $72. Actually got two rooms with different checkout dates so you should get credit for both. Thanks BB

It was that same night as the post Friday Feb 10th 2012. sorry I re-did it three times trying to match the proper format & must have cut instead of pasted. Love the site I counted over the last three years I have saved at least $1800 on everything from cars to airfair. keyword: ,Snoqualmie Casino, Now to get a car in Austin.

Accepted 1st bid...$$72 for 3 1/2* Silvercloud Hotel - Eastgage in Bellevue. I used your PRICELINE link. Thanks!!

I always forget something. I spent the last 10mins trying to find an edit post button. It was for tonight 1 night Aug 27th. Thanks for saving me, I checked some normal best rates calling with a AAA discount and the lowest was $163 for a 2*. You save me a ton, thanks!

Tried for 3* for $40 (has worked before) went to $50 as low as 2*. Later started with 3* for $75, no joy. tried 2.5 then 2* for $76. Got that. Something must be going on other the PAX as before I made the last few bids I checked a few places I know locally & they were all booked up tonight. This has to be a 1 weekend fluke as I have never paid more then $50 for a 3* by the aeroport. used the PRICELINE links thanks BB!

First attempt success. Saw two previous posts with a $40 bid so I started there. Doubletree a 3* that seems like a steal! Central is closer to Downtown then Arboretum or NW & you don't pay the "close to the college" extra yet your only 3 miles from the campus. (and the neighborhood is better, car doesn't get broken into) Couldn't be happier! This is my third time winning with BB, Thanks! Jason AscendWell.com

I payed only $90 and will be saying hi to you at check in.

Was hoping for Edgewater but the Renaissance is much nicer! First bid 4* $90 Downtown area, Marriott Renaissance. Of course I used one of the many PRICELINE links here! Thanks! Jason
