i've heard rumors of people out there who dislike priceline. i'm not sure if they're true or not. but as many times as i've used their website for bidding on travel, i've NEVER been disappointed. my mom is coming to visit at the end of the month. there are 2 hotels within a mile of our place. the doubletree has online rates starting at $150/night. the marriott has online rates starting at $179/night. i went through my research process like always. i had 4 free rebid zones and plenty of time since it's only the 16th. i started low. the last winning bid was $67 for dates very close to mine and i fully expected to pay at least that. but you just never can tell what will happen, so i started at $53 and planned on working my way up. i just laughed out loud when my first bid was accepted for the doubletree!! gotta LOVE priceline! with flights for under $200 into SD airport and hotel for $53, i don't want to hear anyone say they can't afford to come visit! of course you could stay at our place on an air mattress for free.

so what you're saying is, when i choose my next vacation i should pick you as my travel agent so that you can get me a great rate on hotels?
Wow, great rate. I was just looking for SD hotels and found this post. I found a site (http://bidlesstravel.com) with historical priceline bids and the lowest price accepted by Priceline was nearly $70 for a SD 3-star hotel, so your bid rocks! ;)
Where did you find the "$67 bid close to yours?" Do tell! ;)
i use biddingfortravel.com to research past winning bids.
That is awesome! Gotta love great deals! Have fun with your mom :)
