Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Phoenix (Airport PHX) Courtyard Marriott

[CUinAZ]

Greetings! These are the details of my first win. :)

I tried 4 times for a 2 1/2* starting with Mesa at 23.00, rejected.

2nd bid added Fountain Hills, increased to 25.00

3rd bid added (actually, I don't remember--sorry!) increased bid to 27.00

Final bid, added the Airport. Increased bid to 28.00--ACCEPTED!!

(I might have added the Airport on the 3rd attempt and then

changed something else for the 4th attempt. I apologize for my missing details)

I tried to get a similar deal for the 12th but for some reason the week night prices

for direct booking go UP for the week nights! It's just as well, for some unknown reason

Dad would rather keep his existing reservation for 59.00 at the Fairfield. He was

quite impressed however, with the great deal I got him for the 9th.

Bidding for the 12th, started with JUST the Airport at 30.00, thinking I would get the

same but knowing that the direct rates for week day were higher than weekend.

I got the message that I could re-bid without changing anything for 38.00. I opted

to change my details, adding Fountain Hills and upping to 32.00. REJECTED!

3rd attempt and final attempt, I added Tempe and upped the bid to 34.00.

Rejected again. I was starting to feel uncomfortable that I might get a room for my

Dad that he'd HATE so I stopped. I hope these details help. :)

Congratulations on your first win!

Glad to hear that your dad is happy with the results.. and thank you for sharing them with the rest of the board.

If you change your mind about keeping the other reervation you are likley only $1-$2 away from an accepted bid.

Hope your dad enjoys his stay.
