PL Tricks

[MilliePap]

After spending hours at your site, reading and learning, I tried PL for hotel bookings and for a newbie, I thought I did very well. Using the method of adding different zones that does not offer a star level of the previous bid worked! So far I have booked 4 nights at 3* hotels, averaging at $50 per night in Springfield MA, Boston and Syracuse NY. That looks after the beginning & the end of this driving trip. I tried to book 3 nights in the Cape Cod area but was rejected. Fodor's has an excellent message board (that's where I found your site), so I may try recommended hotels by their posts if PL once again rejects me in 72 hours. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to know please. Thanks for such an informative site. It's saved me almost $500!!! :)

I'm glad you've been successful and that we've been able to help.

Please help others by posting your winning bids in their respective states. I know in particular there is somebody that scans this board regularly for Boston hotel 'finds'.

Don't worry about not posting correctly, if any mistakes are made i'll correct them for you or ask for additional info if any is left out. You can see this post for a guideline of what info to include: Ideal Priceline Post

Feel free to ask for help or a recommended bidding strategy if you're having trouble with a specific area or certain dates.

Thanks for 'joining' and expressing your appreciation!

Interesting that your average bid was $50.

As I understand it, the average Priceline bid across all regions and quality levels is $50.
