hohogap Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Used the Board to bid for Detroit Airport PRICELINE Hotel on Thursday, March 28, 2013. Started out at 4* $70, and upped it over the days using the 1 re-bid zone to $77/night. Finally got a rebid offer at $98. Waited to re-bid today and was successful at $85/night. Great spot and really nice when you have an early morning flight that you now don't have to fight traffic for at all! Thanks to the Board, I knew PRICELINE likely only had the Westin at this star rating in this zone, so knew if I was successful I would get the hotel I wanted. Advertised on HOTWIRE for their special today at $103/night. In my haste today, however, I forgot to use the SPRING coupon for an additional 5% off. Have to pay better attention in the future. Here's the results.Offer Price: avg. per room, per night $85.00 Rooms: 1 Room Subtotal: $85.00 Taxes & Fees: $19.46 Total Charged to Card: $104.46 And, as always, all searches, bids and wins are made through the BB Board PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links. Thanks! Link to comment

hohogap Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks! The $46/night win by Viz79 for the Embassy Suites for the same dates is also a sweet deal. Had I seen that I might've tried to piggy-back and do the same 3 1/2* bid. Nice not to have to park in the morning, but for ~$40/night, I could've convinced my wife to give it a go! Thanks again for all of your great help on the Board. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The SPRING code is only available for PRICELINE EXPRESS offers, given that you bid for this win, the 5% wouldn't apply to this purchase... so nothing left on the table. ;)Have a great stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
