I used BetterBidding's PRICELINE link! PRICELINE.EXPRESS DEAL $80/night Guaranteed Amenities: Free Internet in room Indoor Swimming Pool Pets Allowed Business Center Fitness Center Guest Favorite 8.0 $80/night

I used the BetterBidding's PRICELINE link. I started my search by looking at the available hotels and their prices on Priceline Express Deals. There was a 4* SOMA-Moscone hotel available for $137/nt (Amenities: Free Internet in public areas, Indoor Swimming Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Fitness Center, Customer Favorite 8.0, Includes Free Internet) Bid Guidelines: 4 star, SOMA-Moscone, Min $115, Max $137 Starting Bid 5* Fishermans Wharf $115, Rejected Re-Bids: + 5* SOMA-Moscone $118, Rejected + 4.5* SOMA-Moscone $119, Rejected + 4* SOMA-Moscone $120, Accepted Other possible rebids (9): Financial District, Union Square East, Union Square West, Japantown, Marina, Richmond, SFO North-San Bruno, South San Francisco, Civic Center Room Subtotal: $120.00 Taxes & Fees: $27.37 Total Charged to Card: $147.37 FYI- Marriott.com regular rate starts at $289/nt.

I agree thereuare! I double, often triple check my rebid list to make sure.

I started my search on BetterBidding, and used their HOTWIRE to find this hotel. I was hoping for Hampton Inn & Suites, because it was the only 3 star hotel on the HOTWIRE Washington (State) list that had indoor pool(s) as an amenity. I'm kind of bummed with Best Western as it is further away (South SEATAC). :( Amenities: Free Parking Free Breakfast Free Internet Indoor pool(s) Airport Shuttle Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking

After some research on the BetterBidding board and TripAdvisor Reviews, I was hoping to bid and win a stay at Hilton London Hyde Park, for the property's proximity to Central London attractions. My strategy was for 2 Bedrooms, 4 Star, Notting Hill - Bayswater area, with a budget of $90. Considering recent wins on the board, I thought I would have a good chance. Also on my radar was Hilton London Canary Wharf (hence my final bid).

I've been bidding for 3 days for 3.5* & 4* hotels. Since Thursday, I started at $75 - 115 for 3.5*. Today I put in a bid with $115 with $5 Priceline Bonus Cash (TSTD & LIC). Total with Taxes, Fees, Travel Insurance $442.86 Millennium Broadway. Going rate at Hotel Website is $200/night for those dates excluding tax. $120? SCORE! :) 40% savings. Success... sort of. Turns out if I bought the packaged deal with flight, it would have been a few dollars less ($40) Darn you taxes & fees! I guess I still scored a deal and it was fun experience I plan to use again! What a newb. Thanks betterbidding.com for all the tips!

Re-bid zones for 3.5*? Figured out the re-bid zones! Coney Island, Long Island City, Upper East Side. Another question, can anyone direct me to a comprehensive list of NYC hotels bidded on PL?

I'm a newb, and I'm looking for a good deal for a 4* NYC Times Square - Theatre District Jan 22-25, 2011. The treads on this board have been so helpful, I thought I'd share my experience and possible get some advice in scoring an awesome deal! Don't laugh I'm a wimp, I started with small increments for my bids. :) Acceptable Zone: 4* TSTD Re-bid Zones: B, CI, LIC, MSG, UES So far I've tried: 4* TSTD $130 Not accepted 4* TSTD & B $131 Not accepted 4* TSTD & B & CI $133 Not accepted 4* TSTD & B & CI & LIC $135 Not accepted 4* TSTD & B & CI & LIC & MSG $138 Not accepted 4* TSTD & B & CI & LIC & MSG & UES $140 Not accepted Looking to bid up to $160 for a 4* TSTD. I'm confused on whether I should bid as low as I did tonight but on a different day? I'm open to 3.5* TSTD. Any suggestions where I should start my bid? Re-bid zones for 3.5*? I would love to bid on Double Tree Suites Times Square!
