johnmlynch Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Both yesterday and today I started using the PRICELINE QuickQuote feature on BetterBidding. I needed 2 rooms (me, my wife and our 13 yr. old in one, Father-in-law & Mother-in-law in other) for 2 nights in a hotel before beginning our timeshare week in Orlando. The day before I tried bidding for a 3* using on zone at a time (not all zones had 3*) starting at $45 and incrementing a little each time until final unsuccessfu bid of $60 on all zones Today, I began bidding 2.5* hotels, began with Cocoa Beach at $45 and was rejected. I rebid at $46 and adding Titusville zone and was accepted. Later, I checked the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals and am pretty sure based on location, stars and amenities (free breakfast,/internet/parking) the same hotel is indicated at $50/night, but also noticed there was a 3* for $68 In Express Deals. So, rethinking my strategy, I wished I checked that ifirst and made another try a 3* bidding again ending a little higher. I must admit am a little anxious became I never stayed in less than a 3* on Priceline before and so am slightly worried about possibly disappointing my family. At least it is only for 2 nights so, we'll see how it goes. Details: Deal Type: Name Your Own Price Room Price: $46.00 /room night Rooms: 2 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $184.00 Taxes & Fees: $32.84 Total Charged Today: $216.84 Link to comment
