netpog Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Many rebid zones, so I went up in $5 steps. At $75 I was invited to rebid at $96, so I knew that I was getting close. The PRICELINE EXPRESS price is $91 for that hotel (there are few high-end hotels in West Des Moines). The Hot.wire blind price was $94. Also interesting: At one point, I closed the window (it was the BiddingHelper.com) and then re-entered PL (using the widget at the top of each betterbidding page) and I was allowed to bid for West Des Moines zone, and ONLY that zone, for the second time today. I was logged into PL both times. Last time I did this, I won the same hotel at $70 (sorry if I forgot to post! it was early March). I wonder if I paid more because it's the last minute? ETA: I just checked out the "Priceline Maps" tab, at the top of every page here, for the first time. That feature is BRILLIANT! Thanks for it.
AaronJB Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Congrats on your success. :) Solid win for this Sheraton property! Glad you are looking forward to your stay. Sharing the prior $70 win as a separate thread would be greatly appreciated as the information does still help others. Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay.
