ThinkswithFist Posted April 22, 2007 Report Posted April 22, 2007 With someone else getting $60, thought I would try it myself. No luck at 60 and the free retry with resorts+ 4* hotel at $65. Will keep trying in future dates and keep everyone informed...Any thoughts on whether the price should be higher or lower than "normal" given it's only about three weeks away?
ThinkswithFist Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Posted April 25, 2007 Update: Bid of $91 failed, but I got a message saying if I added $22 to my bid, I could bid again today (so I knew I was close). I instead bid $103, which was accepted at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino. For 4 nights, that works out to about $500 (with taxes)When combined with two $450 direct tickets from Newark, this quick trip for two (our 10 year anniversary) is only about $1,400. Other sites that offered the Marriott specifically as part of a package "deal" cost about $1,000 more. I have had exceptional experiences with Priceline - getting very nice hotels for fractions of list prices. Thanks!
blindman Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Great news.Glad you got a good dealHappy anniversary :)
shawn5501 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Followed your exact post, with identical results. Nothing being offered lower..... I matched at 103 also.
