Priceline Hotel: 4* Frankfurt (West) Movenpick

[XT600]

Priceline is easy to cheat :)

Tried yesterday starting with 4* West for $40, got counteroffer to add $15, declined and added zone "East" well knowing that for $45 there won't be any 4* in East. Didn't work out this time (I won for $45 recently) :)

So today I changed my strategy: started with 5* East for $75, then added 5* West for $85 - nothing as expected (5* was only to confuse the priceline system) :o Then I added 4* (valid for both but see above) and used $47 - won as expected the Moevenpick :)

Hotwire showed a $55 4* in Frankfurt which is most likely the Moevenpick, and the total at hotwire is usually a bit below the priceline rate with same bid amount (meaning priceline is a bit more expensive even hotel will get same money)

I won Moevenpick last time for tranfered to EUR 41,50 with winnig bid $45. Due exchange rate fluctationthe 41 EUR now slightly more in USD - and I was right with my bid $47

Your Offer Price: US$47.00

Subtotal: US$47.00

Taxes & Fees: US$11.17

Total Charges: US$58.17

EUR: ca. 42,5 EUR (incl. credicard fee for foreign country transactions- a German "speciality")
