kgregory22 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Scored the Hilton Milwaukee City Center, my bid was $45 but priceline had emailed me a $7 nightly bonus, so ($45 + $7 = $52) per night which worked. I had tried 4 stars at $50 (plus priceline's $7 = $57) per night and received nothing. Lowered bid to $45 then choose 3.5 stars stayed in downtown only and received this winning bid.A decent price but not amazing. I know i'm a horrible person, but I did not go through the PRICELINE link on this page for the first time since I had the extra bonus bucks. The car rental I won last week on hotwire I used the link above and just change it from hotel to car. Link to comment

kgregory22 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I figured I still could, I just wasn't thinking and clicked thru. I'm not a real normal priceline user, I tend to prefer Hotwire, and I always use that link above. The new bidding helper is also pretty awesome that you guys rolled out awhile ago! About to book a single night in Chicago once I do some recon, to see where I should and shouldn't stay.

AaronJB Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thank you for the compliments on Bidding Helper! Glad you are finding the feature helpful.Please let us know if you need help with Chicago, and what you decide for that stay.If you are driving to Chicago after Milwaukee, I'd recommend the Brat Stop, which is not far North of the IL/WI border.
