bturner13 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Fairfield Inn Durham Check-In Date: March 8, 2003 Check-Out Date: March 10, 2003 Durham3710 Hillsborough Road Durham, North Carolina 27705 Your Offer Price: $22.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $44.00 Taxes: $5.76 Processing Fee: $5.95 Total Charges: $55.71If the 11% tax rate for Durham is correct, then PL paid $26/nite for this room. This does not happen often where PL cuts into their profits/processing fees to make a deal! In fact, if this is true, then PL donated $2 towards my room charge! Or am I missing something folks?!?

BurBunny Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 That really is odd! I checked a couple sites to make sure the taxes are still at 11%, and all my sources say the same thing.Wonder if PL is doing one of those promotions where they are reducing their prices, but haven't told us about it yet? Regardless, you got a gift there! Enjoy! Link to comment
bturner13 Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I will be making a bunch more hotel bids shortly and will be back to all on what price Priceline is paying for those rooms. That way we can confirm if PL is indeed running an unadvertised promo that cuts into their processing fees and profits. I have been doing PL long enough to know that nothing they do surprises me! :) Link to comment
