Been bidding daily for two weeks (up to $130 for the night) and Swissotel finally opened up (I noticed a hotel on Hotwire matching the Swissotel and Hilton in the same area drop to $123 for the night, so I hoped they opened up in priceline too). Today bid $80, $90, $100, $105, and then $110 which was successful. Did not get a re-bid offer at $105, which I normally do when a victory is dollars away. Thanks BetterBidding, and as always I used the PRICELINE link from the site!

All, I used the links in this site to connect to PRICELINE and bid on a 4* Milwaukee (Downtown) hotel for Saturday May 5, 2012 (one night stay). Started at $40 and added all the re-bid zones. Went up in increments of $2 and ended up getting the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee Downtown for $52. Happy bidding and thanks betterbidding!!!! Nick

Hi, was trying to get a 3* or better hotel (3 rooms) in downtown Cleveland for 7/22-24 and started with $55. When rejected, upped to $60 and added Southeast Cleveland zone (was rejected again). Increased to $65 and added Westlake and got Residence Inn Cleveland Westlake. When I checked the list view there were no hotels in this area higher than 2.5*. When I called them, they said that when naming your own price, there are hotels that aren't in the list of hotels you can purchase through them at their priceline discount price. This wouldn't be an issue if it was just me but I booked 3 rooms for 6 guys for a baseball weekend where we wanted to walk to Progressive Field... Guess I didn't know there could be hotels not listed in the regular view... Is this new? I've done this for a while in Chicago and never had this problem.
