Northern Wish Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 No this isn't a topic on how do I use it, no worries.For anyone who does use this site, they have added a pretty cool feature to the Name Your Own Price Hotel portion of the site: A winners board!Now you can search by city and it will let you know what bids were successful for each city on that particular day. It takes some of the guesswork, and random message board searching out of the equation.Me likey:http://www.priceline.com/hotels/default.asp?pcode=HTL_SU_SC011_ASean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Wow, that sounds incredibly helpful. What's in it for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Is this to compete with http://betterbidding.com/ ??I've always found it helpful. They teach you some of the "tricks" for getting multiple bids too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 You have now revealed my secret priceline abilities to the world. Thanks KK.It might compete, but doesn't eliminate the need for the site.........Priceline rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 LOL ... priceline rocks. I just used it last week to get a room in Buffalo after the Phil show. $50 at the Adam's Mark was a pretty sweet deal. Have you ever used Hotwire?

Northern Wish Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes, but my luck with priceline has been much better. Over the past 4 years I have booked at least 20 rooms with priceline, never paying more than about $65 USD. And now with the exchange almost equal it is an even better deal!

phorbesie Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 i can't find the winners list from that link. do you have to make your bid before you get to see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 You have to log in to your account. The biggest problem is that the recent winners list has no date range. For a better idea, check out BetterBidding.com's Calendar of wins, which relies on input from winners, but can let you know wins on specific dates.

phishtaper Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 ... the Adam's Mark was a pretty sweet deal. did you like that place, Kev? we normally book in at the Hyatt, but we had a room booked at Adam's Mark the night moe. was snowed out and they closed buffalo. priceline refunded the money. good times.

Kanada Kev Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah, we liked the Adam's Mark much better than the Hyatt (stayed there at least 4 or 5 times). Mind you, the Hyatt usually gets the bands and you can run into some of them while you're there .Were you down there with Bob during the storm (PoG)?

phishtaper Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Were you down there with Bob during the storm (PoG)?no, we got from guelph to the hammer and thot twice. had a nice sushi dinner instead. and yeah, i know what you mean about running into the band at the hyatt. i banged courtney love in an elevator there once ... or was it kurt? they looked alike ...
