BigJuicyGirth Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Win: CAD $86 bid ($108 all-in), Hyatt Regency Toronto, 4*'s, staying the night of May 3. All prices are CAD: Was looking for a 3* + in Zone 4 (Downtown North-Yorkville), or a 3.5* + in Zone 6 (Downtown Southwest). Started bidding on Zone 4 for a 3* + at $70, $75, $80 - all rejected (using the re-bid strategy). Was hoping for a cheap Holiday Inn Yorkville or Courtyard by Marriott. Only able to do 2 re-bids with 3*s in Toronto. Moved to 3.5* + to include Zone 6 (Downtown Southwest), as well as Zone 4, and used the re-bid strategy. Saw from BetterBidding that many people were getting the Sheraton Centre (in Zone 6) for $78, and was trying for that (or if not, something cheaper than the Priceline Express $97, 4* offer for Zone 6). Rejected: $70, $74, $75, $76, $77, $78, $82 Accepted $86 for the 4* Hyatt Regency. The 'Advanced Purchase' rack rate on Hyatt's website is $179 ($208 all-in) for this night. This is indeed a BIG and JUICY deal. Although I was hoping for something north of Dundas, this is fine too. I did indeed use Better Bidding's PRICELINE link. Thanks BB for the info to help with the bidding. ----- Respect the Girth ----- Link to comment

BigJuicyGirth Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I messed up typing in the price in the title of this post, and now the incorrect price is also going to show up in the CalendarofWins I bet. My bad. It should be $86. My bad, obviously my brain box was shut off, or just missing....... Can an administrator change it (hopefully)? Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think AaronJB edit the price to USD. For future posts. Please post in USD. Just change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase. Yellowdog. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches. Link to comment
