[weksa]

1st time bidder

Bidding history:

4* San Jose (San Jose) $50

4* San Jose (Cupertino - Campbell) $50

4* San Jose (Sunnyvale - Santa Clara) $50

4* San Jose (San Jose South) $50

3.5* $50

3* $50 -- accepted

Payment:

3* Wyndham Hotel San Jose

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $50.00 (Retail is $80/night)

Subtotal: $350.00

Taxes & Fees: $56.42

Total Charges*: $406.42

Impressions: I'm pretty happy with the savings and location. The one disappointment is that there is no free Wifi in your room. I called Wyndham and the representative said that you pay your own contract via AT&T Wifi. However, the hotel lobby / guest room / "business center" does offer free Wifi; you just need to be in those particular rooms with your own laptop.

I used the PRICELINE link at the top of the page.

Okay, I should add more bidding history. The bidding history listed above was the process I got to win, but there was more beforehand that all got rejected.

Bidding history was a bit erratic, using some combination of:

San Jose (San Jose)

San Jose (Cupertino - Campbell)

San Jose (Sunnyvale - Santa Clara)

San Jose (San Jose South)

San Jose (Mountain View)

3*

2.5*

2*

$40

$45

After all that failing, I was impressed by previous posters who got $45-50 deals on 4* hotels, so I used the bidding process in my first post, keeping my bid price at $50 in hopes that I might get a 4*. But if not, then I could go down to 3* because $40-45 didn't work earlier. AND all this was within a few hours.
