Sota327 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Posted August 10, 2012 Booked this tonight (8/9) around 9:00 EDT. Flights cancelled, needed one night stay.Bid 3.5* starting at $60 up to $95 using free rebid zones (there was a 3* on Hotwire for $106 so was trying to save off that rate), with no luck.Bid 3.0* at $70, got counteroffer from Pricline at $89, figured $80 would do the trick.Husband logged in and bid 3.0* at $80 and secured Crowne Plaza. Very pleased for this last minute emergency hotel need (very few options when an 8:50 p.m. flight cancels at 9:00 p.m. and 90% of all other flights out of EWR are cancelled, hotel options are going to be slim).Here are the details:Offer Price: avg. per room, per night $80.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 + Add nights for the same rate! Room Subtotal: $80.00 Taxes & Fees: $20.04 Total Charged to Card: $100.04 Used PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on forum to search and bid.
