pitflyer Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 $70 rejected, $72 accepted at Aston Kauai Beach for Sunday night. Rate at their website and at other major sites was $97 for the night + $12 taxes + $12 fee. Priceline charged me $17 taxes and fees, but I believe I will be paying the $12 fee at the resort. Hence, with this hotel, Priceline charged $5 as their fee, on top of whatever they included in the base rate of $72, which may be as little as $2 if the earlier rejection indicates their floor. So I saved $20 over the standard available rate at this hotel, or about 18%. Not quite what TheNegotiator tries to sell, but something, I guess. I was at a conference where William Shatner was the keynote speaker. Next time I'll tell him to cut the rates more :) I normally find that rates at regular hotels that offer points are just as competitive with Priceline, but this location has only a few nation-branded hotels (Marriott and Starwood) and their rates are about double.
