Priceline Hotel: 3.5 * Buffalo-Niagara Falls (Buffalo-Amherst) Marriott

[bearb]

Hi again

-had issues this morning...couldn't make our trip/flight :)

-anyway, I tried to re-book through the hotel directly

...I offered to let them give me a room for $57 direct....showed them the PL printout and all!

-they declined, with a :) ...''can't do that'...$130 they could do though'......but 'go ahead and book on-line...perhaps you will get here again

-so I did...and I did...even got the same room!

1st bid- $46 #1 Buffalo-Amherst -rejected

2nd bid $51 + #2 Airport -rejected

3rd bid $57 + Downtown -accepted

-was kinda hoping for a 'saturday night discount' as the rack rate is less on the weekends due to lack of business folks :)

-guess they seem not to vary their rate?

-I guess I am getting more comfortable with the rebid :o

-I printed my 'win' from BetterBidding and gave it to my computer neighbour last night (he paid $145...thought he got a deal)

POINT OF CLARIFICATION?

-should I have, after my 2nd bid...closed browser, start fresh with #1 + #3? to maintain many more rebids?

-I have to re-read those tip sections more...still not quite following the

thanks again

Congratulations on your success!

Very, very good deal for this Buffalo Marriott property. :) I'm not following (not feeling my best, didn't get much sleep) in terms of the rebid - did you do 1, then 1+2, then 1+2+3?

Thank you for letting your neighbor know about Betterbidding! :)

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.

Yes, you could have increased the number of bidding opportunities by closing the browser and bidding as you indicated.

Thanks for the post and hope you enjoyed your stay.

YES...this is correct.

-expecting to get it for $57...I didn't bother playing around...closing the browser after 1, 1+2...then start fresh bid process

-felt confident that I would get exactly what I wanted...as I didn't really feel like packing :)

Thank you for letting your neighbor know about Betterbidding! :o

-he was off for a cruise...but travels a lot...so will definitely be reading up on this site now that he knows!
