ProfessorBargain Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Tried to bid for this hotel in previous weeks on PL but no wins. It was listed on Hotwire (for this date) at $89 previously. However I saw yesterday the Hotwire rate had fallen to $58.I decided to bid on it in Priceline - figured I'd be able to get it for $50. Went in with a start bid of $45, which was accepted (note, despite this Priceline red banner with your bid is unlikely to be accepted showed up, as did the secondary warning screen asking if you want to submit a higher bid). As my first bid won, in hindsight I should have started lower, but I'm not sure what the lowest winnable rate would have been.

ProfessorBargain Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 1* up to $30 - Rejected2* up to $40 - PL counteroffered with "raise my bid by $12". Declined as a non-opaqe was available for the same price (which I suspected might be the PL hotel).2.5* up to $45 - Rejected Link to comment
