bluepig Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Using your PRICELINE link, I used a bunch of free rebids to start at $95 all the way up to $145 in $5 increments, trying to get a 5* hotel in the City Hall/Marina Bay area. Unfortunately all bids were rejected.I then started over with the Bugis district knowing I was likely to get the Intercontinental. We were working with a "backup" price point of $151/night for the Intercontinental through Hotwire opaque bidding (at least, we were 99% sure it was the Intercontinental based on the lack of amenities listing per prior Hotwire wins shared here).We won at USD140/night, so saved a little vs Hotwire. The non-refundable advanced purchase rate for the Intercontinental through its own website is about USD175 per night, so this is only a marginally good deal, but it IS cheaper than anything we found elsewhere online.Thanks!
thereuare Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Congratulations on your success! While not HUGE, glad to see it's a decent discount vs. a conventionally booked room and that you're pleased with the results. Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
