Priceline Hotel: 3* Toronto (Downtown) Marriott Eaton Center

[turbov6]

Started bidding 3 days earlier (Nov 1st) for a 3-star hotel in downtown Toronto and used the multiple free bidding zones (Brampton, Toronto East, Scarborough).

Bid 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and none were accepted.

Today (Nov 4th) bid: 41, 43, 45. $45 was accepted.

Note: With the $41 bid a counter offer was displayed offering a free rebid if I increased it by $12. I ignored that and continued to rebid.

Congratulations, you got your price of $45 for a 3-star hotel room.

Thank you for the detailed bidding history.

Another fine example of the advantages of bidding early (plenty of time to try again and raise your price slowly).

Enjoy your stay.
