Marksbebe Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 :) Started with the PRICELINE link. First bid at $75, offered opportunity to immediately re-bid if willing to raise offer to $95. Instead I used free re-bid and increased to $80 and was accepted! Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $80.00 Subtotal: $400.00 Taxes & Fees: $72.25 Total Charges*: $472.25 Really excited about this win. Was worried about having to pay a lot higher considering I had somehow failed to realize when choosing dates that this stay is during the Taste of Chicago. Thank you to everyone that has contributed such good information on this site. We are looking to forward to a great anniversary trip on our first time to Chicago. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Very nice deal for this centrally located Hyatt property. In terms of the Taste of Chicago, I'd suggest going early before it gets hot and before the crowds - that way, it's a cooler (literally), more relaxed way to sample some of the options. Additionally, while a fun experience once or twice, I think Taste is a bit on the expensive side for what it is. "Previewing" it early in the day will allow you to decide whether you want to devote more time and/or come back again on another day. Additionally, the Taste is very close by this hotel, so it will be easy to walk there and back. Let me know if you have any questions.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
BlueCrazy Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for the info - had been trying the same dates the last week or so, even ran it up to 110/night with no luck. Ended up booking a 120/night at Hyatt for 120... will try this again! Link to comment
