ggordon Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 Got an email from Priceline this morning notifying me that I had hotel Bonus dollars available ($5 per night for up to 10 nights), but had to book before midnight tonight. Needed a cheap room near Milwaukee airport prior to a 6:50 am flight next Wednesday. Used Priceline a few weeks ago (and posted here) to get a $35 room at the Ramada Plaza, and thought I could get the same room a bit cheaper for the week after Christmas, since there is hardly any business travel then, however, I did not want to bid too low, since I only had the bonus dollars available for one day. Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link, and went to "my profile" to access the bonus dollars as described several other places in this forum, including this Priceline Bonus Cash post.Decided to bid $27, Priceline added $5, and the $32 offer was accepted. My total including taxes & fees of $11.83 was $38.93 (or $43.93 including the Bonus $5).Checked the Ramada Plaza website, and the rack rate for their basic room (one queen bed) for that night is $64, with an internet special reservation rate of $51.20 plus taxes.
