Living Out of a Suitcase Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 1st bid was $65, Priceline came back with a message saying I could resubmit the same bid if I increase bid by $17. I took it as a hint they would accept my offer and they did.$82 for a friday night during Jazzfest is a good price. Expedia has the same hotel for $219.$82 for 4/24/09 Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Thank you for sharing your win with the board :) Looks like a very nice deal!Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.Yellowdog. Link to comment
famofive Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow, you were lucky. I just started at $82 and bid up to $92 in $2 increments and was turned down. I do see the Intercontinental on Hotwire for $99 on Friday and $126 on Saturday, so I may just do that.Thanks for posting your win, though. Link to comment
famofive Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I just wanted to confirm that my bids yesterday from $82-$92 were for Friday night only. I am going to try again today, but not feeling too optimistic since the $99 rate on hotwire that I presume was the Intercontinental has increased to $137. I should have jumped on it yesterday.

indywaiter Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Bookit.com has a "mystery" 4 star FQ hotel that I think is the Astor Crowne Plaza for $109 per night. I would try priceline first but if Priceline fails bookit could be a nice back up. Keep us informed... Link to comment
famofive Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks for the information. Did I miss it? I see a 3* mystery hotel for $119, but not a 4* for $109. Link to comment
