friend Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Today I bid $20 for a 2* hotel in the Burnsville zone and got the same hotel. Arrival Jan 5th for one night. Total including all taxes and fees was $29.62. The taxes and fees seem high to me. With 9.75% tax in Burnsville, that is only $1.95 so figure $7.67 for priceline's fee.The cheapest rate I could find for that hotel through conventional sources was $43 + tax or $47.19 total. So a $17.57 savings. Nice but I would not lock myself into Priceline months in advance for that relatively small amount of savings. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Congrats on your success! :)Looks like a very nice deal for this property! With some smaller zones, prices may (although there are certainly exceptions) not be discounted as heavily or may not be discounted much past a certain point.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start future purchases.Enjoy your stay.
