Travelling to Toronto with my girlfriend from 11/17 - 11/20.

We plan to spend:

thursday in Toronto

friday in Niagra falls - stay over

saturday in Toronto

For thursday - friday (11/17-11/18)

Bid 4* Downtown, 55. Got rejected

Added Don Valley Rebid zone, increased bid to 60, got rejected

Added North East rebid zone, increased bid to 65, got rejected

Added Aiport rebid zone, but accidentally, decreased zone to 3*.

PL accepted a 3* (Airport Marriot) at $65.

I felt this was an overbid. I called Priceline, and requested a cancellation. Surprisingly, they agreed to let me cancel for a $25 fee, provided I rebid within the next 7 days. If my new (rebid) is accepted, they will waive the 25$ fee. If not, i forfeit it.

So I rebid 4* Downtown, starting at 58, got rejected

Bid 4*, but added Brampton rebid zone, increased price slightly to 60, got rejected

Bid 4*, added Missisauga rebid zone, increased price to 65, and got accepted at the Toronto Hiltons

Not a bad deals...given that average rates for these hotels is over 140 at other websites.

Now, I want to stay in Niagra falls on friday....what bidding strategy will you suggest...I want a fallsview hotel, preferably a 4*, but can settle for an 3*+

thanks for the collective wisdom....

Glad Priceline customer service was able to accomodate you.

Please only post one win per thread as it enables us to stick with the board's topic title format; as well there are other aspects of the board that rely on the topic titles being in this format. Please start a NEW TOPIC to show the second win (at the Sheraton) and we'll use this thread to reflect the Hilton win. Thanks!

Enjoy your stay(s).
