RClay2008 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 This was my first time using Priceline. I read up on posts here before attempting my bid; which was very helpful. My intent and hope was to reserve a room at the Embassy Suites - Downtown StL which was a 3.5* property. I had pretty narrow margins for what I was looking for (3.5, downtown StL $45). The $45 was actually the min. amount that I wanted to spend. When the bid was accepted, it was kind of disappointing with it not being the hotel I wanted, but count it all joy that all three nights only costs me $165. One thing that sucks is that the hotel will NOT recognize my preferred member account for the nights stayed, which pisses me off. Finally, do any members know a better way to guarantee a specific property?
AaronJB Posted April 17, 2012 Report Posted April 17, 2012 Congrats on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding! :)Nice deal for this Hyatt property. There is no way to guarantee (or increase the odds of) a particular property when using PRICELINE (a trade-off for the discount) and hotels do not take rewards numbers (another trade-off for the discount, although this varies - some may be successful at some properties/chains.)Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
