HappyBeaver Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Hello,I've used your site to research prices and used your links to bid on PRICELINE many times.One thing I wonder: how are hotels assigned? eg: I've won the Sheraton and the Hyatt (Toronto) in the past, so I know they both use PRICELINE.I usually start bidding at the lowest price and inch my way up. When doing this, I've gotten assigned the Sheraton quite a few times. It's a great hotel, but what if I want to increase my odds of getting the Hyatt next time? Will starting with a higher bid increase my chances?Anyone have any idea how PriceLine assigns the "wins"?

HappyBeaver Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks! I read the entire thread, but I guess that to this day no one really knows.I'll consider experimenting in the future and post my results.
