Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (St Germain-Latin Quarter-Montparnasse) Marriott Rive Gauche

[sierratango]

I was aiming at this Marriott as I saw it frequently in this forum for around $90. With Batignolles as free re-bid zone I made the following bids:

(X = St. Germain, A = Batignolles, B = Champs El., C = Opera East, D = Eiffel)

By using the D zone I could've made another 8 bids.

X $65 refused, counteroffer $102

XA $70 refused

XB $79 refused, counteroffer $102

XBA $84 refused

XC $87 refused 'add $22 and try again'

XCA $89 refused

XBC $91 refused 'add $22 and try again'

XBCA $93 accepted

Hi all,

After I made a succesfull bid on priceline.com for a Marriott hotel I used the confirmation number given, to check the reservation's status on Marriott.com. This website also has the possibility to indicate room preferences such as bed type, and after I made changes to these preferences the website asked for a confirmation, indicating the following remarks:

Rate Rules

Additional Information

Travel agents: please note that this rate is non-commissionable.

Holding Your Reservation

* We will need a credit card prepayment to reserve your room.

* To insure that you receive this special advance purchase rate, we will charge your credit card a prepayment of 130.00 EUR (your full room charge plus tax) when you make your reservation.

Modifying Your Reservation

* Please note that a change in the length or dates of your reservation may result in a rate change.

The text after the second bullet is highlighted. Does this mean that after accepting these preference changes, the credit card is charged another

No, that won't happen. I do that all the time. It just means you found out the hotel's priceline rate including French VAT: 65 EUR per night.

Thanks for your reply, that's exactly what I thought.
