thereuare Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I would start at $60 and increase $5 every 24 hours.You probably don't have a 'real' chance until $70-$75, but rates are not high for these dates so i would start a bit lower given the time on your side.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. (and not the links in any emails PRICELINE sends informing you that you're eligible to bid again)Thanks! Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

hoop77 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 I was following your advise and bidding in increments of 5 dollars. When I bid at 65, my offer was denied, but I got a screen that said that it was a "one time opportunity" to bid again right away if I was willing to raise my bid by 17 dollars (65+17=82). I knew my real chances started at around 75 dollars, so I went ahead and clicked yes and I am SO glad I did. We got the Intercontinental Budapest for 82 dollars a night + tax.This was an absolute bargain as we just came back from our vacation and the hotel is in the best location ever and a total bargain for the price we paid.Thanks for the advise
