Welldone Rumproast Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Bidding StrategyA couple of weeks ago, in *THIS BID*, I helped a friend get a local room. This morning, the same friend called and told me about a freind of hers who is having some sort of pipe work done on his house on Monday morning. So she suggested the Miramar "trick". I was drafted to do the bidding :)Everything else was pretty much the same as last time. Best rate on the hotel site was once again USD 89 Bid ProgressFollowing standard Priceline bid operating procedure, I approached the entrance to the famous *SAVINGS BARN* - I gave the secret password ("Go Wolverines") and was admitted!Initial Bid in the FLL-MIRAMAR ZoneFirst Bid: $33 - ACCEPTED!!Bid ResultsHilton Garden Inn Sw Miramar14501 Southwest 29th Street Miramar, Florida 33027 Check-In Date/Time: Sun, August 3, 2003 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date/Time: Mon, August 4th, 2003 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: $35.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $35.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $9.45 Total Charges: $42.45HGI website lists a tax rate of 11.00 percent Link to comment
