resipsa99 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Just thought that I would post this for general info and benchmarking.Have to go to Regina for a funeral, so last minute, two-night midweek stay.Hotels in Regina looked very expensive, with high prices on the PRICELINE regular side (2* starts at $106), HOTWIRE opaque bids ($97 for 2.5*) and Travelocity Top Secret Hotel bids ($68 for 3*).I had the option of using 5,000 Priority Club points plus $60/night to get a hotel I can vet ahead of time - this appears to be without additional taxes, but still TBD. Previous postings on here for 2010 showed $80 for a 3*, but that is more than I wanted to pay given the Priority Club option above.PRICELINE name your own price screen said the median for 3* and 2.5* was $138 and $139 respectively.I used the PRICELINE link to bid $55 for a 3* in Regina (Area 1) - rejected, no counteroffer.Added 2.5* and bid $55 for a 2.5* - rejected.Didn't want to go to 2* as I didn't love all the possible 2* hotels, so went with the Priority Club points + $60 option.
AaronJB Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Thank you for posting the details of your bidding. Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE, PRICELINE or regular rate links in the Support/Travel section.
