belgo Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm looking for a 3* in the LAX area for 10/13-17. Hotwire has a 3* that looks like the Holiday Inn for $65. The Crowne Plaza goes for $144, 4 Points for $125, and the Hilton for $125 (NR). Is it reasonable to feel one might win a $55 bid on Priceline? There don't seem to be any free rebid areas...

thereuare Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I would even start at $50... increasing $5 every 24 hours.Let us know how it goes or any further questions.

belgo Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 No success at $50 or $55. I added Santa Monica (basically a free rebid area as far as I'm concerned because there's no chance one would come up there at $55--and it would be fine by me if it did). Link to comment
belgo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 An update and success :o ! I added Westwood and $58, and got an offer to increase my bid by $17. Instead, I added Beverly Hills/West Hollywood and increased my bid to $60. To my surprise, I was upgraded to a 4*!! :) So we got the Sheraton Gateway for $60 a night for a total of $284.38 with taxes and fees. What a pleasant surprise. Traditionally, the cheapest rate would be $152 a night, or $173 per night when taxes would be included. No way did I forget to use the savingsbarn link... :) Link to comment
