Redvines Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I bid on a 4* in Fort Lauderdale Beach at $160 and couldn't get it (April 17-19, 2009). I am assuming that it was the Hyatt Pier 66. Priceline sent me a message that if I increased my offer by $25 to $185 that I would get the room. The problem with that is that the AAA rate is only $12 more at $197 and you don't have to prepay and can cancel up to three days before. Having to prepay 8 months in advance to save $24 with no cancellation available makes little sense. I am thinking of booking through AAA and seeing a month before if Priceline drops its price. Even then, there still is no guarantee that it will be the Hyatt.
thereuare Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!PRICELINE will often accept less than their counter-offer... so since $160 was worthwhile to you (relative to the $197 AAA rate), is there a number between $160 and $185 that would make it worthwihle for you to lock in the rate now?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
