Priceline Hotel: Resort Orlando (WDW) Wyndham Palace and Spa

[tallboy]

Thanks to the board for helping bid on Priceline. I had previously used Hotwire due to the transparancy of which hotel you were bidding on. I had never used priceline before today. I read all the hints on rebidding by picking additional areas that did not have as high of a star rating. It works perfect if you are looking for a resort in WDW. The only other area around Orlando with resort ratings when i bid was Universal.

Started bidding at 72 and upped it by about 5 or 6 dollars each rebid. Finally accepted when it hit 89. I was hoping for the Hilton but don't have a problem accepting the Wyndham. I am aware of all the bad reviews, But at the price I am paying, I don't think we will have any complaints.

Here is a hint for Hotwire, it has probably already posted but here goes anyway. what I do is check for the hotels (no package) in the area I want to go to and print out the results. then I go to the packages and try the same dates. I print out those pages and see if I can identify the ones I am interested in. It has worked everytime, except for the first time I tried the site and was flying blind. I won a 165$ a night Hilton at Tysons corner for about 50$ a night. I was hooked!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thank you for sharing your winning priceline bid with the rest of the board.

For HOTWIRE, we also recommend checking our HOTWIRE HOTEL LIST for the area you are looking at. Not all hotels participate in the vacation product, and given that we keep track of both the vacation product and the hotel product, you can sometimes see hotels with identifical amenities in our lists that you wouldn't necessarily see in the vacation packages alone.

Can you please add the date(s) of your stay and the amount of the rejected bid immediately before your acceptance at $89.

Thanks! and enjoy your stay.
