Is it possible to avoid this, when using cash for deposit at check-in, instead of a credit card?? That would minimize the chance of double charges. But I'm not sure, do most hotels even take cash deposit??

Thanks for suggestions!!! :) The regular hotel rates seem quite high for USE around these Mon-Tue dates, or are the typical for this area?? I'm starting to think I should may-be consider USW area too? From previous posts and calendar of wins USW seems to be a little bit cheaper than USE?? What do you think should I add this section to get lower rates? I really wouldn't like to go much over 105$. p.s. I'll definately use the links here as this forum has been a GREAT help for understanding Priceline!!! :)

Hello! I have been frequent reader and visitor of this great forum and today I decided to join as the dates of my travel are coming near and I need to start bidding at Priceline for the first time myself!!! Haven't used Priceline at all before, so I need all kind of advice and help and possible bidding strategy aswell! :) I'm hoping to bid for 4* USE hotel for dates Mon-Tuesday - 6th and 7th June, 2011. Checkout on 8th. For these 2 dates and in this section (USE) should I start at 70 $? Or are the regular rates for this time period higher? So I should start around 80$? I hope its possible to win the hotel under 100$ or at least no more than 105$. I have a month to go, so should I start bidding away? p.s. I have in any case booked refundable 3* in USE, if Priceline bids don't work, but it costs 145$ a night! I would very much prefer to win 4*stars and on Priceline with 100$ price range! Thanks to everyone who has time to look into it or help!!! :) Regards!
