dks42697 Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Initial bid was for 3* for $60, they countered with adding an additional $17. Lowered to 2.5*, but kept bid at $60 and got Courtyard. I've been bidding MDW hotels every 72 hours for a few weeks. My most recent attempt was 3*- $55 2.5 - $53 2* -$50 1* -$48 without success. Started getting nervous about getting anything Priceline for this trip. Made a backup resv at Holiday Inn Extended Stay for $89.01 per night. This works out after taxes and fees to be $25 cheaper. As well as providing us with the shuttle service that is necessary for this trip. Link to comment
fly_up_front Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Congrats on breaking the code on 2.5* (and to some extent 3*) hotels in the MDW zone. This is the first time a 2.5* win in MDW has ever been reported on the Internet and it seems that a price in the $60-65 range might win the 3*. Link to comment
bturner13 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 But what does this tell one about the hotel industry and/or the power of Priceline?!? :) Link to comment
