mjhewat Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Hi there - We were successful on our first try (I had attempted some lower bids, but the system would not even "try" them because they were too low). Needless to say, we are thrilled!Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel TowerMarch 24 - 27, 2005Your Offer Price: $103.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Subtotal: $309.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $52.68 Total Charges: $361.68
thereuare Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the rest of the board.Just how low were your bids that Priceline wouldn't even consider? What was the message you received when submitting these ultra-low bids? What was the highest bid you made prior to $103? Thanks!Enjoy your stay.

mjhewat Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Posted February 19, 2005 I'm new to this - so perhaps it was a standard response re: "you have only a small chance of your bid being accepted" - I kept trying the odd # until this message didn't pop up, and won immediately. In hindsight I might have won for less, but the price on all of the discount hotel boards I checked was significantly higher (as were previously won bids for this hotel) so I was pleased with it.Hope this helps someone else in the future!Thx for all of the guidance this site provides.
