2.5* Hampton Inn Rancho Cordova 11/7 $35

feeds@yuku.com (cykick42) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:54:33 GMT

I bid $35 on 2.5 stars and got it on the first try. $35.00 + $12.03 Taxes and Fees => $47.03 Total.

I don't see Hampton Inn on the hotel list page; perhaps it should be added. It's in the same neighborhood (Zinfandel & Rt 50) as the Wingate and the now 3* Hyatt Place and a couple others. It's pleasant enough, either a new building or remodeled in the last few years. Our two-double-bed room was a little snug -- there was a desk, but no desk chair, instead having...

Princeton now has two zones

feeds@yuku.com (gretagardening) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:12:33 GMT

The former Princeton-Monmouth Jct. zone has been split in two: Princeton West and Princeton East-Monmouth Junction. This is good, as it was a rather large zone.

Also, note that Staybridge Suites has replaced the Chauncey Conference Center.

3 1/2* Royal Plaza 11/20-24 $40

feeds@yuku.com (whitworthp) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:10:33 GMT

Just booked the Royal Plaza in the Downtown Disney are for $40 per night. Best price on their site is $66 per night, and it is usually more than that. Started at $35, added Kissimmee and bumped to $38, added SandLake and bumped to $40.

Thanks to all that share. This was a breeze. We are looking forward to this trip and we were hoping for the Royal Plaza. Great location, great rooms, free parking.

3.5* Marriott Convention Ctr, 11/07/09 $50

feeds@yuku.com (seeemeeego) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:07:31 GMT

Started at $45 for a 4*, dropped to 3.5* and increased to $48, finally added Garden District for $50, accepted at Marriott Convention Center which was exactly where I needed to be for a show I was attending.

In researching prior to bidding, I see that Bidding For Travel lumps DT and Convention Center together as one area. It would be easier to bid if it were set up like Priceline divides this area into two separate areas of Downtown and then a separate area of

4* The Madison - $95 12/3/09 - 12/7/09

feeds@yuku.com (Mac) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:14:12 GMT

Thanks for the information on this website. I had never used Priceline before. I used the FAQs to understand the free re-bids. I started at $75 for the Downtown/White House zone and increased by $5 increments using the free re-bids (although I was very nervous adding the outer zones - in case I did something wrong and ended up staying in the suburbs, for example). I didn't expect get something for under $100 based on the research I had done, so I was surprised to get a successful bid. I...

SAN 11/9 to 11/11 Rejected at Payless Pricing

feeds@yuku.com (luv2trvl1) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:59:00 GMT

Tried for a couple of days to win a car using multiple sizes with no luck. Was using Payless pricing on the PL web site as a guide for bidding points and still didn't win anything? So in the end, just booked through PL with Payless directly, which btw, was $1 less per size then booking on their (Payless's) website.
