audreydoll Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 For those that like to plan in advance... I saw what appeared to be the Barclay on HOTWIRE for $235 which is a very good price for early December. I tried PRICELINE, hoping to get it for even less, and was successful at $205. Here are the bidding details:Bid $200 4* MTE - Rejected with a counter offer to increase my bid by $25.Declined the counter offer and added a free rebid (UES) at $205 and was accepted at Intercontinental The Barclay. Total with taxes and fees for both nights is $487. On the hotel website, the cheapest room available is $560 per night, so this is over 60% off the rack rate.
thereuare Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Congratulations on your win!Nice job planning ahead as i suspect you're right in that nothing near this price will be available as you get closer to your arrival. This should be a 'poster boy' thread on why waiting until the last mintue is not always the best plan (as many think)... better to know what a good deal is and be ready to take advantage of it when if/when it appears.Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the board.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
