  1. Dear Sue Barbri There is often some confusion for folks new to Priceline on the different way they group hotels in the "retail" section and the "name your own price" sections for Paris. They are quite different. If you intend to bid your own price, several observations -
  2. Sorry - forgot the gritty details - Your Offer Price: $90.00 Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $360.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $62.70 Total Charges: $422.70 Good luck!
  3. Thanks for all the help :) - I've been trying to get two rooms for the weekend (2/10/06 - 2/12/06) in Fisherman's Wharf for a week or so. The Sheraton site was showing $204/nt as the cheapest room for thatweekend while Priceline was showing the cheapest 4* in FW at $179/nt for this weekend. After reading the hints and successes, I tried a disciplined approach to get the Sheraton - but started at $69 - the cheapest successful rate that anyone had got in the last 6 months. First I bid $69 for 4* - Fisherman's Wharf - Declined. Then I added Cathedral Hill as a free rebid and raised my bid to $71 for 4*- Declined So I did a new bid at $73 for 4* - FW + Civic Centre - Declined Then I added CH and rebid to $75 for 4* - Declined So I started a new bid at $77 for 4* - FW + South SF - Declined Then I added CH and rebid $79 for 4* - Declined So I started another new bid at $80 (thought I must be getting close) for 4* - FW + CC +SSF - Declined Then I added CH and rebid $81 for 4* - Declined. I waited 72 hours and just finished rebidding using the same strategy - $82 - Declined (but they offered me the chance to add $22 and rebid - which I declined) $84 - Declined $85 - Declined $86 - Declined (but they offered me a rebid if I added $22 - which I declined) $87 - Declined $88 - Declined $89 - Declined $90 - Accepted!!!! (I was about to switch my attention to USE and USW 4* - knowing that I could get an additional rebid now by using FW up to $90). Very pleased.
