civic4982 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 I used your PRICELINE link from betterbidding.com as I am a frequent user and found the deal above.I tried multiple times at prices from $90, $100, $110, $125, $145, then finally @ $160.I looked only for 4 star hotels and then added in locations of Downtown and Arboretum early on then adding slowly the others so that I could extend my number of bids.It must be a really busy weekend in Austin because this was a really high price for us.This hotel usually goes for $149 so I got jipped and I feel like a putz. It looks as if I overpaid and I will be calling them now to discuss it with them. :)
civic4982 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 Excellent news!Priceline came through and not only gave me the $11 difference plus taxes but also gave me a $25 credit so now my rate is down even more!It was likely an overseas answering service but they did a pretty good job and were efficient and it took very little of my time.Overall a good interaction with PRICELINE.
thereuare Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Sorry to hear of your overbid, but glad to see that PRICELINE honored their guarantee and given the extra $25 you're now pleased with the deal you received.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
