riro424 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 In summary, I really wanted a 3* or 2.5* in Rapid City for 6/7/10 - 6/10/10 (3 nights). Since the Black Hills has 6 areas, I was able to use multiple bids for 3* in Rapid City starting at $57 resulting in multiple rejections for 3*/2.5* in all areas up to $73.With one check remaining in resubmitting bids, I decided to try 2* (all areas) at $50 for one day figuring if the hotel was highly rated, I might be able to add days.The winning bid was the Super 8 Motel at $50 plus $13.69 (tax/fees @ 27% ouch!). Super 8 website quoted price was $65 plus tax totaling $72.50, a savings of about $9.Tripadvisor.com has it ranked #3 of #15 with 15 reviews, though that really doesn't increase the thrill of this victory. :) I used this forum's PRICELINE link. Thanks to this forum for the multiple bids tips. Link to comment
