SaintTaris Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I received a phone call from a friend of mine who would like to join me on this road trip. I called Priceline and asked if there was any way to get another room at this rate. Priceline connected me to their sale department who offered a room at $199. I then phoned Hilton and asked for a discounted rate after explaining rate I received through priceline.Again, the Hilton would not budge on their listed rate.I bit the bullett and used this site's PRICELINE link and placed another bid. 4* Hotel, Convention Center/Warehouse District, dates 20-22 Jun, rate $52.00.I won another room at the New Orleans Hilton Riverside. Thanks again Better Bidding. Link to comment
