Priceline Hotel: 3* Toronto (Airport YYZ) Renaissance

[rove312]

First bid of $33 was rejected. Re-bid with free zone to $36. I was ready to go to $38, since I'd seen reports of that being accepted and I still had plenty of chance to retry. I haven't used Priceline since last fall, and I was surprised not to get any "extremely low chance" messages; does that mean they've stopped doing that, or they couldn't claim it for this bid? I got:

Congratulations, you got your price of $36 for a 3-star hotel room.

Renaissance Toronto Airport

Toronto Airport (YYZ)

801 Dixon Road

Etobicoke, Ontario

Check-In Date: Saturday, May 28, 2005

Check-Out Date: Sunday, May 29, 2005

Your Offer Price: $36.00 (US dollars)

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $36.00 (US dollars)

Taxes & Service Fees:

$10.39 (US dollars)

Total Charges: $46.39 (US dollars)

This isn't directly in conjunction with a flight; I just picked the airport area because I want to spend time both in the city and in a suburban area in that direction. It looks like parking will be another $10 U.S. The lowest rate on their site was $119 Cdn. so about $95 U.S.

Congratulations on your win!

Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the rest of the board. Priceline does indeed still use the 'low chance' message.

Enjoy your stay.
