cincyimages Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 YES! bor1980 gave me hope when I saw their post. I had been trying for 4 consecutive days to land a 4 star hotel in MTE, MTE, MTS, CPS with no luck up to $160. After seeing bor1980's post I tryed MTE for $120 and Priceline offered me a rebid for $22 extra. I closed out my browser (partially excited) and reopened it and entered in my request again except adding MTW with MTE and bid $130 and I was awarded the bid.Good luck to the next lurker out there fustrated with their bids, be patient and it will pay off. I had refused to go higher than $160 and time was on my side. Link to comment

headtrip Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Having a backup hotel reservation takes most of the angst out of the bidding process, allowing you to use time to your advantage assuming you have time to research and bid a few times without success before you get the price you want. I think it's easily a good tradeoff saving $50 per night for an hours worth of research, unless your earning big bucks and it don't matter. But for now, I'm still just a working stiff and loving every dollar I can save. Link to comment
