Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Oklahoma City Sheraton

[drichards415]

I just want people to know that I used one of the tips I learned on this site --before using the link above to click through to priceline--to bid and it worked great.

I wanted a hotel in the central okc, which I learned from this board was probably the Sheraton. Since I knew it was a 3.5*, I started by bidding $65. I was unsuccessful. So then I started adding areas that I knew DID NOT have 3.5* properties--which I also learned from this board--and resubmitting.

So, my first request was:

Central OKC / 3.5* /$65 REJECTED

I then added the following regions and raised my offer keeping the star rating at 3.5

which I knew could not be accepted in the new region because they don't have any 3.5 *s.

I added crossroads $65 REJECTED

Then, because I'm frugal and curious, I decided to lower my offer to see if that would have any effect.

So I added edmond $63 and

ACCEPTED IN MY REGION AT THE 3.5* SHERATON

Accepted $63 For 2 Nights Total

Sheraton OK City

$152.58 With Taxes and fess for two nights.

So I actually lowered the price and still won!

Sheraton's own web site and Travelocity and Hotels.com would have been $293.78 for two nights. Expedia would have been $240.

Crazy, right?

Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your success! Glad to hear the infomration here was helpful with your purchase adn that you're happy with the results.

I'm sure somebody will ask, so i'll comment that other than the hotel changing rates between your 2nd and 3rd bids, i can't explain the reason for your $65 rejection and $63 acceptance.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
