goldendeal Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I needed a one night stay added on to already made reservations at this hotel. Started bidding at 135, 140, 150, 155, 165, 178, using free re-bids then accepted at 180.00. This was a double -edged sword for me....I knew this hotel does not come up much in priceline wins (or its not tried for too often)...but when it has come up, the winners usually did better then my winning bid....The stay is 4 months out, which goes against what my strategy for priceline usually is,,,which is to wait just as long as I can for the hotel to dump excess rooms to priceline...but knowing this hotel is big on conventions and meetings.. and not knowing the hotels schedule ,,.I didnt want to take a chance on getting shut out completely, and have to settle on the hotels rates,,,, I may have done better by waiting but who knows....I saved 53.00 over the hotel rates...not big but Ill take itbest hotel rate 239.00 tax 21.51 total 260.51 priceline winning bid 180.00Taxes & Service Fees: 27.46 total 207. 46
