Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Vancouver (Coquitlam - Burnaby) Hilton Vancouver Metrotown

[TXfight]

So, I've spent the last couple weeks researching this board and the internet for hotel rates to make an "informed" bid for my upcoming trip to Cananda next month. Low and behold, I receive an email about a 24 Hr Hotel Sale from Priceline yesterday, the offer was for $7/night up to $70 of bonus cash. Whoo-hoo!

I log in to betterbidding.com, click link for priceline and login to my account..go to my rewards, choose this coupon...then the bidding process goes as follows:

Bid 1- $78 (+$7 bonus cash); 4*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South REJECTED

Bid 2- $83 (+$7 bonus cash); 3.5*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South REJECTED

Bid 3- $78 (+$7 bonus cash); 3*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South, REJECTED

At this point I'm nervous about not getting to stay near downtown and don't want pay more than I need to, so intead of rebidding, I clicked "my rewards" and started the whole process again. (Not sure if that's a bug in to Priceline web site, but it worked!)

Bid 4- $90 (+$7 bonus cash); 4*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South, Granville REJECTED

Bid 5- $95 (+$7 bonus cash); 3*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South, Granville REJECTED

Even more anxious than before, I go back to the map to see what other areas I can try so I can be near downtown...start over by clicking my rewards, this $7/night bonus cash coupon...

Bid 6- $100 (+$7 bonus cash); 4*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South REJECTED

Bid 7- $95 (+$7 bonus cash); 3*;Downtown, City Hall/Downtown South, Coquitlam SUCCESS!

This bidding was mostly stressful because the bonus cash was about to expire at midnight and I really wanted to get the best rate. I'm excited about my win and my trip to Canada!
