sephiac Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 I'm fairly new to using Priceline.com, so I'm not sure if the strategy I used is deemed 100% correct - but I am happy with the outcome, considering the price on other sites is $199/night!I was looking for a 4* hotel in the Georgetown or Dupont Circle areas. I took advice from another thread saying how adding areas to your bid that do not have a particular star rating available is essentially like having a free bid.Started with: $65 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom (rejected)$70 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, added Crystal City (rejected)$75 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, Crystal City, added Springfield (rejected)$80 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, Crystal City, Springfield, added Alexandria - Old Town (rejected)Closed out of browser$65 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park (rejected)$70 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, added Crystal City (rejected)$75 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, Crystal City, added Springfield (rejected)$80 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, Crystal City, Springfield, added Alexandria - Old Town (accepted)Thanks for everyone's help!
