gleff Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Your Offer Price: $135.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $270.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $47.59 Total Charges: $317.59 Started at $105 and added zones.And then things got interesting. I needed to add a room, but only for (1) of the nights, and it was important that it be at the same hotel.Voila! This is the first time that BetterBidding added real value for me in my own planning. I was able to go to Hotwire and find that the property I had already won on Priceline was available for the other night, and I nabbed it for $154. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 You give so much to the board that eventually, just by the sake of karma, there had to be a way for us to give back! Glad we could help. :)Here is a link to the HOTWIRE BOOKING for anyone that wants to view it. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
gleff Posted May 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 FWIW, for the nights in question the hotel's corporate rate is $309, Orbitz wants $259, and the AAA rate is $249. So a pretty good deal.Put another way, the Midtown Holiday Inn is going for $169, so I nabbed the Millennium for about the same dollars.That's why I like Priceline, even though this is far from one of my best scores. (Why won't the Waldorf-Astoria come up for under $100 for me anymore? :) ) Link to comment
