actraveler Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 First bid $45, rejected.Instant confirmation offered for $55 and accepted hoping for the Embassy Suites based upon prior posts.Wasn't sure of the rebid zones so figured the few extra bucks to get it immediately was worth it. This is the hotel we wanted.Bad news, sorry. I started on the PRICELINE link, but restarted the browser in error so you may not get credit. My apologies if you don't.Halactraveler
AaronJB Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Congrats on your success. :)Quite a good deal for this Embassy Suites property, and glad you were able to get the hotel you wanted.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
StayceOz Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Hal, thanks for the update. Do you mind my asking the dates? We are looking at October and I have never used PRICELINE before so I was curious. Thanks so much!
AaronJB Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 StayceOzThe dates for this thread are 8/15-17.The board would be happy to help you. But please start a new topic for your own stay.
actraveler Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Posted August 15, 2010 Stacey,The dates for a stay are always in the header on the Board.I use PRICELINE and HOTWIRE ALL the time.This board is a g-dsend when it comes to saving money. I work for an airline, and my industry discounts are not nearly as good as I can get with the help of this board.In my experience, I try not to bid for lower than a 3* hotel to avoid disappointment, but there are some cases where well reviewed 2.5* properties have been more than fine. You just have to follow the Board and use their PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links so they get credit to keep the Board going.Good luck!Hal
