resipsa99 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I used the PRICELINE links on this site to start my bidding. Prices on this website looked low ($65-100), but there seems to be low availability for those dates at the high end side. Was not able to get anything above a 3* for those dates on HOTWIRE, and my first three bids on PRICELINE were rejected.So, although I'm a bit disappointed at the "higher" price, it's still a much better price than the CAD$284/night on the Marriott website or the CAD$299/night on Expedia.Bidding strategy:$74 for 4* Downtown Calgary - unsuccessfulAdded Airdrie (no 4* hotels) at $81 - unsuccessfulAdded Cochrane (no 4* hotels) at $94 - unsuccessfulAdded 3.5* hotels (none in Airdrie/Cochrane - only 3.5* at all was the Marriott and checked prices as above) at $97 - successfulIt gave the option of extending at the same rate (but didn't use it).
