NitaB Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 :) Monterey 2 nights 9/28Bid 3* Mont/Pac Grove $50, rej.add Marina 3* $55, rej.add Carmel 3* $60, rej.started over, 2 1/2* Mont/Pac Grove $55, rej.add Marina 2 1/2* $66, rej.No other free bids, so I made a reservation for the Clarion, AAA 3 diamond for $71.99 per night.Will try again in a few days. I think I'm being a bit impatient, as the better deals seem to be somewhat closer to the date wanted. And I took your advice and made a cancellable reservation! :) I'll post again later, as I find that these rejections and wins have helped me a lot!

NitaB Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Posted July 17, 2005 I apologize for not reading that portion of your website. And I had never found a cheaper way to reserve the Choice Hotels, than the one I was using. But, I checked now, and see where I can use the 60+ rate (DH just turned 60!) for the same rate as I was getting. I will try to use your website from now on, beings the rate is the same!Thanks for pointing this out! It will be easier to do, on one site! (wow, now I have to see if I can find a hotel for another stay that I'm not having any luck bidding on PL, for a busy time!) :)
NitaB Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Posted July 18, 2005 Bid the exact same way, when 72 hours were up.Rejected for up to $70. I may just bid low prices, as having a reservatiom for $71.99, I sure hate to bid more! I either want a bargain, or will be contect with this one! :)
NitaB Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 Victory at last! :) I have tried about every 72 hours, bidding a bit more each time.I used the same strategy, with rejections.Mont/Pac Grove 3*, $68 Marina 78Carmel 88logged out, went to 2 1/2 * Mont/Pac Grove $90 accepted! It appears to be a savings of about $40 per night, for 2 nights. It'll do!

NitaB Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 Oooops! I had gone to bed when I realized I hadn't said!It was The Victorian, which is a Best Western that looks like a bed and breakfast, and includes a continental breakfast. And I had bid as high as $92 was rejected on my last try. I maybe should have started a bit lower on a 2 1/2*, but having been rejected at $92, just wanted to get something done. Anyway, checking out the hotel website, I like the location and looks of this hotel, and I'm satisfied!Thanks for the help from this website! Maybe someday I'll learn some patience, and get some really cheap deals! :)
thereuare Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Congratulations on your win.Glad you got it settled and to your satisfaction.Have a great stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
NitaB Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Posted August 1, 2005 Actually, my message was a bit confusing. The week before I was rejected at $92, and finally won the bid at $90. Just wanted to clear it up! Sorry for the confusion! :)
