thereuare Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 don't understand why i can't get it when bidding $50I have a pretty good idea why. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 most likely because the going rate is $239 for that night at the Hilton Link to comment
pittlei Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 so could you give some explanation? Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 if you were referring to my post.....sorry if I didn't explain what I meant.........the going rate is $239 like I said already and that's rather on the expensive side for a 3* property.....typically we see people get the Hilton for well under $55 on priceline but that's when the going rate is less than $100...........usually a higher price indicates lower availability, so you could most likely still snag the hilton but you would have to venture into $60,$70, maybe $80 territoryI've stayed at the Hilton before and it's nothing to write home about, so I wouldn't be worried about not getting it..........have a good tripthanks for reporting your win to the board Link to comment
