robteb Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 After trying many MANY times over the past few weeks , and going up to $95 using various combinations of the three free 4* re-bid zones, I finally got the hotel I wanted! I initially won for Thursday the 3rd only, then used the PRICELINE "Extend my Stay" option and got Friday the 4th for the same price. Still trying for Saturday the 5th, with no luck so far. (I am hesitant to go over $100, for fear of getting the Westin.) I have a back-up convention rate of $145 at the Hyatt, which I can live with for my one remaining night -- it's better than the BAR of $179!Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE to start all my searches, of course!

robteb Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I never did win the third night on PRICELINE and used my back-up reservation. During one of my last rounds of bidding, I was offered a free rebid of $111 on an $80 offer, but didn't accept, as anything over $100 stood a chance of being the Westin. It's a great hotel but I needed to remain at the Hyatt this time out. I made a counter-offer of $96, splitting the difference, but that was rejected. Oh well, can't win 'em all!Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE for all my last minute attempts too! Link to comment
