besj Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Going to a conference at SAS Radisson Schiphol and decided to try Priceline for the second time ever. I did a test bid on 5* from 85 to 95 to 105 using free rebids. All were rejected but the last one offered a counter bid of 125.After realizing I needed one more day and starting a new round I went for 4* at Schiphol. I was offered to raise my bid by at least 22. I know I could probably get it for 117 but I decided to ignore the hassle and bid 122. Was given the 5* Sheraton which will fit just fine.Listed prices were Euro 189 for the Radisson and Euro 225 at the Sheraton (with a canceling penalty). So price was less than half with Priceline!

besj Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The dates are 4th of October 2005 to 7th of October 2005. I had the dates in the header, but it looks to me the was trunked. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 All the characters didn't fit on the top line, so it had appeared as "10/4-1" (iirc).Thanks for clarifying.
