Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thank you for trying your bids thru the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com

What is your maximum bid at this point in time? It's still very early before your arrival date, but is 4* worth double the cost of a 3* for you in this stay (as i think a 3* would currently be avaialble for less than half of what you've already bid)

Let us know your thoughts and/or current maximum bid amounts.

Does anyone know how to get out of a priceline deal?

Thank you for sharing your winnig bid with the board.

If you were hoping for a specific property HOTWIRE is often a better option... still no guarantees, but at least you can take an educated guess as to what you will get.

Guess you can use some of the savings for cab fare.

Enjoy your stay.
