Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Orange County (Costa Mesa-Irvine) Hilton Costa Mesa

[craz]

Res is for 1/12-1/13 it didnt show up on the title for some reason

Was playing around with PL last week before a trip got no where with all my games, nothing anywhere for Jan '09 on any site

Decided to try again today, didnt expect to get anything put $47 then saw total would be over $60 last week it was under $60, so pulled it and put in $46, Got the Hilton didnt expect anything as Rates are very high

Winning bid $46 + 12.98 taxes and Profit (its only an 8% tax or 3.98 on my $46) Total winning bid of $58.98 was holding a Govt rate else where for $94 Hotel wants $212 or $228.96 ai, so Im happy but Sad cause I would have used this sites PRICELINE Link if I thought I had a chance

Havent used PRICELINE in many a yr

The correct format to use for your topic titles is:

TITLE: x* City (Zone) Hotel Name

SUB-Title: $xx ... m/d/yy-m/d/yy

By using the above format all the pertinent info fits.

If it's worthwhile to try bidding it'sworthwihle to try going thru our link... hopefully next time.

Thanks for sharing your win with the board.

Just wanted to say , I was successful in calling the Hotel in getting my HH# on the res. Checked today and got credit and the airline miles as well.

Strange was I got 460 pts, HH gives you 10 pts per $1 , my bill from the Hotel didnt have any amounts on it. So I take it from the 460 pts that PL paid the Hotel $46 the same as my Bid was for. Thusly anything lower then $46 wouldnt have been accepted, again I bid for a 3 1/2*. Thats not saying another 3 1/2* wouldnt take less, but Id assume they wouldnt.

So PL I take it paid the Hilton $46 + the tx leaving PL with a $9 profit (charged 12.98 while the tx was $3.98 = fee (PL profit) of $9. Of cause they would have made out better had I had a higher Bid, as they would have kept anything over $46 along with the $9 too
