- Keep in mind the days of the week you want to book.
Hotels in most cities offer their lowest rates and biggest discounts on
weekendsFriday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday nightsand around holidays,
except during special events.
Remember, because weekend rates are usually priced 25 - 50% off regular rates, do
not base your bid on a Wednesday rate if you are actually
arriving on Friday.
Orlando, Las Vegas, and most resorts are exceptions: Sunday through Wednesday
are cheapest in Vegas, Thursday higher, and Friday and especially Saturday
nights most expensive. You can practically (well, almost) name any price
at the best hotels in Las Vegas if you book for mid-week nights when there
are no conventions in town.
Of course, hotels in resort areas give bigger discounts during off-seasons.
- Once you authorize
Priceline.com
to charge your credit card, your reservations become non-refundable
and cannot be changed in any way, even by paying a penalty.
You can only rebid on a hotel range with the same particulars once every
72 hours. You can rebid immediately if you change the neighborhood, city,
dates, or star category
- Compare prices to see what the lowest going rates are you can
use a site like www.Comparetravelsites.com
to load all the sites. Once you have established the lowest price you can
find than goto Priceline.com
and bid at least 30% less. You will find you should be able to get it. Priceline
now may counter you. If you accept the counter offer be sure that it is
lower than the prices you saw. A site like
hotwire.com will also list prices without the specific plans and
is excellent to compare to these prices.

a little bit on the subject of the pros and cons of Priceline.
Priceline has been able to grow into one of the largest travel sites on
the Internet partially through its spokesperson William Shatner also
known as Captain James T. Kirk of the USS enterprise. Having such
a recognizable spokesperson certainly helps any company to grow.
But just because Captain Kirk is recommending Priceline is not enough of
a reason for people to spend thousands of dollars on a website.
Priceline has been able to negotiate the lowest rates on the Internet
and has consistently been doing so for close to a decade. The
major advantage of Priceline is the opportunity to bid on travel and
save a significant amount of money by doing so. The big drawback
is once you bid and win your travel is nonrefundable and
non-transferable. This is a major consideration and therefore you
should be very certain on your travel plans before booking. This
is the same as you'll find any of the other popular Internet travel
sites such as Expedia, Travelocity, a higher, cheap tickets, hotels.com.
This being said if you are serious about saving money and have some
flexibility with your travel plans you really have to consider Priceline
very seriously. I have personally booked through Priceline
approximate 50 times and only once was I disappointed. Upon
reviewing the hotel I booked I realized that it was in price I made the
mistake myself. Based on the advantage is Priceline offers you
really should seriously bidding on your travel bookings today.
