Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Inland Impire (Riverside-San Bernardino) Courtyard

[photomikey]

Bid $35, rejected. Priceline countered for another $9. (Sort of -- see below.)

Waited 24 hours.

Bid $40, accepted.

I've seen Priceline try to cut a deal with me before (which I seldom take), but this time instead of agreeing to take another $9 for the room, they offered me a chance to bid again for at least $9 more. (i.e. -- "why don't you tell us if you'll give us another nine bucks, THEN we'll tell you if we'll take it.")

I know the routine with the counter offers (that you can typically get by with half), so I waited, and won.

Used the savingsbarn link.

Both "if you're willing to bid $44" and "if you raise your bid by $9 we'll let you bid again right away" are counter-offers, just different ways that they phrase it... you did right by turning it down :)

Thanks for using the SavingsBarn.com links to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
