5*dealhunter Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 I wanted a 5* hotel in Zone 5 (Las Ramblas North - Paseo de Gracia). I knew there was a PRICELINE EXPRESS offer for a 5* in the same zone at £70 a night so knew I wouldn't bid more than this. I worked out which Barcelona zones didn't have 5* hotels and used these to make sure I could try to bid again instantly. I started with a £44 bid with just Zone 5 selected. Then added Zone 13 and increased bid to £48. Added Zone 11 and increased to £50. Added Zone 15 and increased to £53. Added Zone 4 and increased to £56. Finally got accepted adding Zone 8 and increasing bid to £59. I paid £25.77 in taxes and charges. This was my first time using Priceline and I was really happy with the result - an 81% saving. Was also pleasantly surprised to see I'd be able to add extra nights at the same rate (not that I needed to).
