rykos Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 There were no hotels listed for Swift Current on this site, but I was hoping for the Best Western or Holiday Inn Express, so I started bidding at $40 with a few dollars more each time. When I hit a $51 bid, I was rejected but was offered an immediate re-bid at $61. However, I wasn't willing to bid more than $55 as I knew there was a Priceline Express deal for that amount. I finally got accepted at $53, but the savings is really only $9 compared with if I had booked directly. For a place like Swift Current, I wonder if I would have fared better if I had waited until closer to my travel date to bid. I used the betterbidding PRICELINE link to book, and wanted to post my win so others stuck staying overnight there could have an idea of what to expect! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Congratulations on your success! While the savings are not huge in dollars terms (it is almost 20% in percentage terms) hope this works well for your plans and you enjoy whatever time you need to spend in this area. Often times in small markets like this one, where there is not a lot of hotel competition, it's difficult to get huge discounts as the hotels know that you don't have too many other options. Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase and sharing your win, helping us add this zone and property to the Priceline Hotel List. Enjoy your stay.
