kiltman Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Ok, starting to look at the hotels for my trip to Montreal.I figured to throw out a low ball just to see what happens.Bid $50 for a 4* and was denied. Not surprised.I have a reward to use for $5 off per night so I may get out with around $65 by the time I am done.I may change my * rating depending on what I can find out about the 4* hotels (free wifi!!)Will keep informed of my progress.

kiltman Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Posted September 16, 2011 Ok, have been at it raising my bid by $5 a day +/- and included the Downtown zone.As the price started getting higher I decided to start over on 3* hotels which would likely get me free wifi, which is somewhat important as I will be in a foreign country and won't want to pay for internet access.9/19/11-9/23/11Today I bid $65 plus $5/night reward so $70/night total for (Convention Center-Old Montreal-Latin Quarter) and got the "if you bid $16 more tonight you will get your hotel".Instead I added the downtown zone and bumped it up $5 for $75/night with the reward and won.Gouverneur Place Dupuis Montreal 3 starConvention Center - Old Montreal - Latin Quarter1415 Saint Hubert Street, Montreal, QC H2L3Y9514-842-4881Bonus Cash: Per Room, Per Night US$20.00Offer Price: avg. per room, per night US$75.00Rooms: 1Nights: 4 + Add nights for the same rate!Room Subtotal: US$300.00Taxes & Fees: US$68.12Total Charged to Card: US$368.12I've gotten better deals but considering the going prices in downtown Montreal this seems like a good deal.
AaronJB Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Very good deal for this 3* property during a tough period in the city for hotels.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
