tomtotravel Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Tried several times, with bids starting as low as $55 and going as high as $90.This time, I bid $65 for 4* hotel Downtown-Riverwalk. Rejected.$75 added Medical Center. Rejected.$85 added Airport. Rejected.$95 added SA East. Rejected.$105 added Stone Oak. Rejected.$110 added Northeast. Accepted.Marriott Plaza, 555 South Alamo St$110 for 3 nights, 2/6/ - 2/9/09, total $330 + $67.29 taxes and fees, = $397.29I was hoping for lower rates, but I checked the hotel website: "Best Available" was $189 per night for those dates, total $567, + $94.97 taxes/fees = $661.97So I guess I did all right, although I wonder why mine is higher than others here are getting.Yes I did use the PRICELINE link through this site. Oh, and I have a car through Priceline, $10/day. I am pleased about that one!
thereuare Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Congratulations on your win... nicely done!Rates are date specific (controlled by supply vs. demand)... hotel direct rates may be higher for your stay than for when others have had lower bids accepted, which would explain the higher bid required for this win. At $75+ savings per nite this is a very nice deal.Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
