barbemm Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 We wanted a 4 star hotel in Tampa to stay one night pre cruise. Checked online and best available rate for Grand Hyatt was $199 plus tax. Called the hotel and they gave me $209 plus tax. Since I have had good luck with priceline since learning about it on this board I decided to give it a shot. Bid $55 for Westshore and Airport area for a 4* hotel ....for Aug 28, 2005RejectedAdded another area and rebid $65RejectedAdded another area rebid $70rejectedAdded another area and rebid $75Rejectedadded another area rebid $80rejectedone last shot and I would have come back and rebid in three days...but rebid one more time $82 and was accepted...with tax it's $100 and change...saved myself about $120 and got the Grand Hyall Hotel which is exactly what I wanted. It helped that there is only one 4* hotel in the pinned list in Tampa. I love this board.....thanks so much for all your hard work putting this together.Barbemm
