Sota327 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Started in Happauge zone for 3.5* at $50, $55, $60 and 65 (using various free rebid strategies) with no luck.Moved to Macarthur bidding 3*, starting at $50, got immediate coutneroffer fo $59, declined and increased to $52 (using free rebid options) and won. Here are the details.Springhill Suites Long Island Brookhaven Macarthur Airport (ISP) 2 Sawgrass Drive, Bellport, NY 11713 Offer Price: avg. per room, per night $52.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 + Add nights for the same rate! Room Subtotal: $52.00Taxes & Fees: $15.00 Total Charged to Card: $67.00 Priceline says I saved 59%. The advanced payment rate on hotel's website is $109, so I guess 59% isn't quite accurate given that priceline is advanced payment; but the flexibile rate was $129 so based on that I guess I saved the 59%. In any event, the reviews on tripadvisor are good, so I am very pleased with the result. It is always nice to have a suite and free breakfast too, so that is a really nice bonus. We are looking forward to the stay.I've been bidding with the same strategy for the last two weeks (up to $65 for Happauge 3.5* and up to $60 for Macarthur 3*). Today was the first time I received a counteroffer.Used PRICELINE link on this forum to search and bid.
