Priceline Hotel: 4* Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle $50

[Katmash]

This might be a little confusing but I was looking for hotel for pre-cruise and post-cruise for 2 couples flying in on the same day but leaving on different days. I split it into 3 bids. I needed 2 rooms for one night on 9/13; One room for 2 nights on 9/21-22; and one room for one night on 9/21. We ended up at the same hotel for all nights at the same $50 price.

The 1st one I started my bid at $45 which was rejected. I refused their offer to add $13 and instead added the free rebid area of the Delta and raised the bid to $50 which was accepted.

2 rooms one night for $100

taxes and service fee $ 17.40

Total $117.40

Fabulous price when their website listed the rate at $200 for that night. $58.70 for each couple

The next bid was for one room 2 nights 9/21-22.

used the same bidding strategy. They did not off me succes for $13, just told me to change something. I added Delta and raised to $50. Another winner.

1 room 2 nights for $100

taxes and fees $ 17.39

Total $117.39

Website rates for those nights was $180

Final bid was for one room 1 night 9/21 and hoping to get the same hotel but knew I might not.

same bidding strategy. Sweet Success!

1 room for 1 night $50

taxes and fees 11.19

Total $61.19

Gee, I hope I like the hotel since we'll be there for 3 nights. I think I really do like Priceline.

Glad it all worked out for you the way it did. Thankfully you and your friends will be at the same hotel during your stay.

Enjoy your cruise and thanks for sharing your winning bid with the rest of the board.
