My average price per night including taxes is ONLY $53.47 (US) per night for 408 NYOP nights - which means I've spent almost $22,000 (US) with Priceline. On the flip-side my savings against rack-rate are about $30,000 (US).

Thanks to everyone on this board for the help over the years!

My spreadsheet is indicating 855 nights since October 2001. About 5% was on Hotwire, the rest was NYOP on Priceline. Total spent is $35,436, making the average cost $41.45 per night. Most nights are in the San Francisco area. The low average is attributed to ridiculously-low rates some 2-3 years ago, when for many months PL had a fantastic promotion.

OK, you win - and I don't think I can catch-up on your 2 year head start. Good Stuff!
