boddicker52 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 Had been trying for weeks to get 3 nights at a 5 star hotel in Singapore for a Saturday check-in and a Tuesday check-out. Went as high as $97, even right before this winning bid. Decided to split it up and got the Hilton for Saturday night at $79 using the strategy of adding free rebid areas. I had already won Sunday night, so I decided to try to get Saturday for even less. Started at $75 for Orchard, and was asked to add $17 for a room. Added a free re-bid and bid $78, but was declined. Added another free re-bid and bid an extra dollar to get the Hilton. Looks like $79 is the bottom figure for Orchard Road right now. Pretty happy overall, as Singapore hotels can be real pricey. Looking forward to time at a nice hotel in Singapore, as I really enjoyed the city last Summer, enough so that I wanted to return. Used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link as always. Thanks for everyone's posts as it helps others immensely.
