timstravel Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Well, this took a while, but I'm satisifed... lowest rate at the Hilton site is $199.Your Offer Price: $150.00Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 3Subtotal: $450.00Taxes & Service Fees: $66.53Total Charges: $516.53Initially bid $135/night, declined free re-bid @$157. Tried again later in the day @ $140 with an added area, declined a re-bid @ $162.Next, had my wife try a bid at $125 to see if she'd get a free re-bid at $147. No luck. Used up a bunch of free bids by adding areas and eventually worked back up to $148. Still no luck.Came back two days later to find that I had one more "added area" bid left on my first request. Tried a final bid of $150 and got a message that said I'd entered the incorrect security code for my credit card and that Priceline couldn't process my request!This told me that they would accept the $150 bid. I looked around one last time to see if there was anyway I thought I could beat the price. Once I was satisfied I couldn't, I resumed the bid and won it. Link to comment
