whoawhoawhoa Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 Started bidding at $35 - rejected up to $56. Made the jump to $60 and won the Hilton in the Disney World Resort. Best rate on the hotel's website was $98. I don't see this hotel on the current priceline list. Used the links.

Did you receive an upgraded hotel win? Thanks!I began bidding on a resort, and then added 4* I had a few weeks to play with so I wasn't in a rush and started my bids very low. I think I was on my 6th rebid when I finally won this ($60 was the final bid I was willing to make). I think you can can some 3* and 3.5* hotels for a little less (or a little more) but this hotel looks to be considerably nicer than those. Also, I did not realize until you asked me that this hotel is considered a "resort" by priceline (see http://travela.priceline.com/travelguides/...ickid=ORLANDOFL ) so I guess I did received an upgraded hotel win (although I don't recall the confirmation message saying that it was an upgrade). A recheck of my confirmation also shows that this is a resort.
