mymadelynn Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 When useing priceline how last minute can I bid. Dh is the kind of guy that say let go now. So can I book with priceline or hotwire the same day? Also does it usually get cheaper closer to the dates. Link to comment
rc408 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I believe it is up to 6pm the day of arrival. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 The above is correct... but note that some zones don't allow same day bidding at all.Also does it usually get cheaper closer to the dates.See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

mrxow Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 From what I understand, reservations can now be made up to 11pm on the check in day. That doesn't mean, though, that all hotels or zones will take bids that late. Try to make it as early as possible.11pm Eastern Time... Link to comment
Colfax Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 From Priceline's Help section the cutoff time for same day bidding is 11pm Eastern Time. If you're in New York you can make a same day bid until 11pm, but on the West Coast only until 8pm. Link to comment

dahammer Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I just saw the following on HOTWIRE:Q: Can I book a same-day reservation?A: Yes. In order to check in to a room today, the booking must be completed before 11 p.m., based on the local time of the city where you are interested in staying.I'm not sure when this was changed from 6 pm to 11 pm, but this is great news when making same day reservations and you don't have time to start bidding on Priceline.

rturanc Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Per Hotwire, http://www.hotwire.com/helpcenter/hotels/s...ok-same-day.jsp"Can I book a same-day reservation?Yes.
