TEXASGTP Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would not leave home without using this site. Got the hotel I wanted by reviewing details on your HOTWIRE site, but bid in on your site's link to PRICELINE.Originally was bidding for 3 days. Bid with the extra zone options the 3 last nights from $ 89 to $ 145 without a counter offer. Hotel's price on line dropped from $ 191 to $ 180 including the weekend for supposed a 48 hour period. Thursday night was $ 159. They accepted by $ 129. Was very surprised that they accepted the additional night for $ 129 versus $ 180 price. I took in consideration the $ 25/night resort fee. For reference purposes this same hotel is going for $ 305 this coming weekend. Link to comment

TEXASGTP Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have completed our initial vacation plans thanks to this site. Used the HOTWIRE link to check on availability and prices. Used the PRICELINE link on each of the winning bids. I am very pleased with the results.In summary,Car rental - 12 days Salt Lake CityVarious lodgings for a combined 6 nights2 star hotel - Ely, NV (transit between parks)4 star & 3 star hotel - Reno, NV (1 night each)Resort - Lake Tahoe (Incline Village) - 2 nights3 star - Salt Lake City, UTTried different bidding strategies around the national parks without much sucess. Decided to take the plunge and booked 3 nights at Yellowstone with the National Park Service and 2 B&B's neat Yosemite.FYI: 3 star hotel bidding summary: Mammoth City, CA @ $85 Mariposa, CA @ $99 and I did not get a counter offerI'll be back to this site for my next traveling adventure.
