Made a same day bid for a hotel in Queens, NY. As always, I accessed Priceline through Savingsbarn.com and started bidding:

Selected LaGuardia Airport zone and bid $70, rejected.

Added Long Island City zone, bid $75 rejected (a free rebid zone)

Added Elmhurst-Corona, bid $80 rejected (a free rebid zone)

Added Brooklyn Heights, bid $85 rejected (not a free zone, this area has 3* hotels)

I closed my browser and re-opened it and started bidding on a 2.5*

LaGuardia Airport zone and bid $55, rejected.

Aded Elmhurst-Corona and bid $65, rejected.

Added Long Island City and bid $71, won

Congratulations, you got your price of $71 for a 2

Many of the hotel chains have pulled membership perks for any stays not booked thru their own websites, but as your breakdown of the costs of purchasing all the perks 'ala carte' shows that you can still come up way ahead of the game by using the opaque services.

Thanks for sharing your win and bidding history with the board and for making your purchase using the the links at the SavingsBarn.com (as you always do :) )
