Brendak Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm going to Sandpoint Idaho in a few weeks...it's a pretty small place and nobody has posted in the Idaho forum about booking a hotel here yet. All they have is 2star and 1star hotels and I'm wondering if somebody who's been here a while could give me a suggestion on what price to start my bidding at. Truthfully I've already found a room at the quality inn for $63 which is a pretty good rate but it's called a "small room, with no view" and from what I've read online there rooms with no view sit right beside the railroad tracks. I really don't care if the room is small since we'll only be sleeping there but the railroad tracks don't sound all that impressive. I was hoping maybe I could try out priceline and maybe end up with a different hotel for a better price...if I still end up in the quality inn...oh well, at least I got a better price right?So do any of you have suggestions on what I should realistically start my bidding at? The cheapest hotel besides the room we found there is listed at about $90. Would $40 be about the right price to start? Any suggestions? Link to comment

thereuare Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'd start at $35 for a 2* and increase by $5 every 24 hours until you reach your maximum if $60 (should take 6 days).Any questions feel free to ask... keep us updated.

Brendak Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Well I tried $35 and it got rejected....I'll try again tomorrow.Question: I've heard that not all Canadian credit cards are accepted and that in order to make them work you have to enter a US city and Zip in the CC field...when I placed my bid and the CC field came up there was a place for a US Zip or a Canadian postal code...does this mean that they updated their systems and Canadian Visa's are going through easier?
