Priceline Hotel: 4* Dallas (Airport DFW North) Grand Hyatt DFW

[Savi424]

This is a very tough week to book a 4* hotel in Dallas. I tried the Galleria and Downtown using the many free re-bids up to $130 with constant rejections over the last 2 weeks. I decided to add the DFW North zone and started at $90, finally winning the Grand Hyatt at $130. Their website has rooms listed for $235 and up for that night. I used the SavingsBarn.com link.

Congratulations on your win.

Thank you for sharing it with the board and for beginning your bid wiht the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com

Do you recall the amount of your previously rejected bid?

Thanks! Enjoy your stay.

I had been rejected up to $130 for both Galleria and Downtown. I had started at $50 and used free re-bids up to $90 the first time. Then I started higher and bid up to $130 with no success. Then I decided to start a new bid with the DFW North zone. I began at $90 with that zone and finally won at $130.

Does this answer your question? I thought I had put that in my original post but maybe I wasn't clear, sorry.

I just posted a Hotwire win in that forum for the DFW zone and learned the hard way that their definition of an airport zone is much larger than Priceline's. I will have a 20 minute drive to the airport from the Omni Mandalay. I won't use Hotwire again for DFW airport hotels.

Thanks for this valuable website, I send lots of people here to learn about Priceline and Hotwire.

I began at $90 with that zone and finally won at $130.

When you went from $90 to $130, what was the amount of your highest previously rejected (ie- how much did you bid immediately before the acceptance at $130? was it $100, $110, $125, $127, etc, etc?)

Thanks.

OK, now I get it. I was bidding in $5 increments. $125 was rejected and $130 was my next bid that was accepted.
