Priceline Hotel: 3* Seattle (Downtown) Renaissance

[arizonagirl]

Is the add a night feature a one shot deal?

I booked a room on Priceline for a Friday and Saturday night stay, and wanted to add Thursday. I knew I'd have to bid more for the Thursday than I paid for the other nights, but when I tried to add it either it wouldn't let me change my bid or I didn't think it would because I bid the same amount I had for the other two nights. Of course, it was rejected.

I've checked my reservation again to try to add another night and it won't let me now. PL "help" says that Add A Night is available only when "You have not already requested additional nights for this trip."

So have I blown it? Has anybody on this Board had a similar experience?

I really wanted to stay from 9/28-10/1, but I bid up to $95 for a 3* and kept getting rejected. I figured it was the Thursday night that was doing me in and rebid for only the Friday and Saturday. Starated off at $55, added a zone and went to $61, added a zone and went to $65, where I was finally accepted.

So after I bid, I looked up the hotel to find out if I could book Thursday night direct. It's offered at $300/night. So I tried the Priceline Add A Night feature, but for whatever reason ended up trying to add the night at $65, which was summarily rejected. I want to keep trying to add a night, but I'm wondering if it was a one-shot deal and it won't ever let me try to add a night onto this bid again. (I also posted this question on the main board).

Anyway, used the SB link, and wanted to say thanks to board again (and the intrepid soul who bid on this same weekend a couple of days before me).

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and for using the links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your priceline purchase.

The Add-A-Nite feature is a "one change" option.

Have you tried EasyClickTravel or HOTWIRE?

While in Seattle check out my often recommended "half price early bird lounge menu" at Brasa.
