Congratulations on your win!

Glad to hear you're happy with the results and the information on the board has been helpful to you.

Enjoy your stay and have a great trip.

FYI: I checked rates at the Sheraton Maui about a week before the trip and found that rates were now $20 lower per night than the price that I bid back in March. (I bid $250 in March and rates were $230 when I checked before the trip.) I called Priceline, informed them of this and they refunded $171 back to my credit card and gave me a $10 bid credit for my next Priceline bid. I didn't know what to expect from Priceline, but just thought others on this board should also have this info, just in case prices are lower when you travel.

You got lucky, as the "official" terms of PRICELINE's Best Rate Guarantee is that you have to find a lower rated within 24 hours of booking.

Glad to hear it worked out well for you nonetheless.
