Relayer Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I've been researching TCI and I doubt there are any deals through Priceline's NYOP. For starters Hotwire doesn't even participate in the TCI. Priceline lists 7 hotels on their Provo list and only 5 have star values (two 4*, two 3* and one 1*). Not many considering there's dozens of hotels/resorts on the island. I have booked airfare for 8 nights in April (17-25). I've bid up to $160 a night for a 4*, even splitting the 8 days into 4 and 4. I'm not going any higher because there are some deals booking direct. Dropping to a 3.5* is risky because I don't see any listed and no way I'm going to a 3* with the Comfort Suites lurking out there. What I find puzzling is Priceline offers all star levels in the NYOP section. Oh yes, I did use the BetterBidding PRICELINE link to start the bidding. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Besides a lack of hotels on the island, these dates include Easter vacation which is a peak travel period, which would contribute to hotels not offering inventory to PRICELINE, or not discounting inventory to deeply.The 4* hotels i'm seeing are all upwards of $300 and some go much higher, what is the best deal you're able to find at a 4* property for these dates?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Relayer Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 We have rented a nice ocean view condo (1200 sq ft) through vrbo at the Ocean Club. The cost was $1800 total including tax. Going directly through the OC website the price for the same unit would have been $4,700. Link to comment
