[PDB_905]

I love Priceline!

Bidding for 3.5 in Central Park South, had 4 free re-bid zones (Long Island City, Queensborough Bridge, Uppper East Side, Coney Island)

Bidding process recap:

Central Park South - $85 rejected

CPS + Long Island City - $95 rejected, closed browser and started new bid

CPS + QB Bridge - $105 rejected, but received notification that if I raised bid to $137 I would get the room. Instead closed browser and started new bid

CPS + Upper E. Side - $115 rejected, received same counteroffer, instead closed browser and started new bid

CPS + Coney Island - $122 accepted, Renaissance Hotel 57, a 4-star property, even though I was bidding on 3.5-star.

Offer Price:

avg. per room, per night $122.00

Rooms: 2

Nights: 1 + Add nights for the same rate!

Room Subtotal: $244.00

Taxes & Fees: $58.06

Total Charged to Card: $302.06

Hotel website lists best rate for those dates as $319. Travelocity lists a rate of $279. Not too shabby.
