Thought I would share this interesting scenario I had.

Was looking for 4 room at a 4* Fort Lauderdale Beach Area Hotel for 12/13 - 12/15.

Saw other winning bids at or near these dates for 80 to 90, wasn't sure if 4 rooms would help pricing and since I had 6 free rebids started bidding at $66 per night (I know ridculous :) ) upped it around $6 per bid until failed with last bid at $95.00. Still thinking about whether I want to go any higher on priceline or go with a 4* hotwire hotel at $93.

Just thought I would share this experience since I use board a lot and haven't seen much about multiple room bids.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Best guess for the property above would be the Hyatt Pier 66.

Sorry for the newbie mistake, I meant to post it on priceline forum. As an update, I wasn't excited with the savings on the hyatt pier 66 through hotwire. price was $93 per night plus $15 resort fee, totalled to $108 vs $134 total on Expedia. Was hoping for a better savings than $26 per night. Ended up trying priceline again tonight and got the Westin Beach Resort for $95 per night vs $174 on Expedia.

Thanks for the help.

Through help of the experts here they helped figure out that $93 per night on hotwire was likely Hyatt Pier 66 add a $15 resort fee and I was looking at $108 per night vs $134 on Expedia.

I was hoping for better savings so I decided to give priceline another shot and I was able to get 4 rooms at the Westin Beach Resort for $95 per night vs $174 on Expedia. 12/13/12 - 12/15/12. Started bidding at $75 increased $5 using free rebids.

Thanks for the help.
