ok, thanks:p

I've done the very same search on both UK and US PL site.
The UK site says upon my search: Suggested retail price for a 4 star hotel [FONT=geneva,helvetica,sans-serif]£312[/FONT]
the US site says Median retail price for a 4 star hotel in the area selected is $210. why so much difference? :eek:

Irrelevant, it's just marketing hype to get you to bid really high!

You have read the first post of this thread haven't you

Which if you are going to bid on PL I would suggest you do !

On the Booking.com site there is a link to priceline which take you here


Read post#1 and #2 of this thread and come back if you don't understand

Just wanted to record my thanks to blindman for this fantastic guide

I've spent the last couple of days reading through and trying to get to grips with all the hints and tips, and have just made my first winning bid!

I went through priceline.co.uk as recommended here, and have just posted the details on Better Bidding. I realise that it's polite to go through their links, but I think I'm right in saying that we can't do that if using the UK site? Must read back again to see if there's a way that I can ensure they get credited, but for now, a huge thanks for all the info!

Yes, if you use the PL.co UK site you cannot go through the BB links

However you can donate via their Paypal site. :cool:

Hi there,
Just wondered if anyone had any advise for bidding on hotels in New York. Any strategies that were successful? We're going for 10 days in April (6th-16th) next year.

The guide does say that I'm unlikely to win anything over 3-4 days so should I split up my holiday in an attempt to get a nice hotel for part of the holiday?

Thanks in advance.
