Mike624 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Was looking for a 3-star property in Riverhead, which gave me one free re-bid in Stony Brook/Port Jefferson.Started at $70 in Riverhead and was rejected. Added Stony Brook/Port Jefferson and raised to $83, which was successful. I could have probably raised by a smaller amount, but I wanted to get the reservation done and didn't want to have to wait 24 hours to try again.Best "regular" rate I could find for Hotel Indigo was $169, which came out to $188.xx with taxes. My bid came out to $98.xx all-in, so I'm happy.I had a back-up reservation at the Hilton Garden Inn for $142 (all-in), so the Priceline deal is still a good one.At the time of my bidding, Hotwire had a 3 1/2 star property for $98 and a 3 star for $114. The $98 would have been $118 with taxes and fees, so again, Priceline came out ahead.As always, I used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link.
