Priceline Hotel: 3* Northern Virginia (Sterling-Ashburn) Hyatt Place Dulles North

[whplanet]

Mother-in-law coming to visit for the birth of my first child (wow... I was still just a poor unwed undergrad student when I started using betterbidding.com). I've used this site to book vacations, hotels for family members attending my graduations, hotel rooms for 3 weddings so far (including my own)... I could go on... but I'll spare you the nostalgia. :)

Started bidding using PRICELINE link on site.

I was aiming for either the Hyatt Place Sterling or the Marriott Courtyard Dulles Town Center. Only one free rebid zone available for 3* in Northern VA, so I had only 2 shots per 24 hrs.

Successful bid of $44 on 5th attempt:

$34 - rejected

$35 - rejected (first two bids based on $35 successful bid posted in forum for Marriott)

-waited 24 hrs-

$40 - rejected w/ $50 immediate bid offer (now I knew I was close...)

$42 - rejected

-waited 24 hrs-

$44 - successful
