, I can gaurantee that the time when we provided this information, our provided bid price will definitely result in winning bid. .
Priceline works with hotels by setting out levels of acceptable bids and allocating set numbers of rooms at pre-set levels. Priceline assesses a fee plus taxes on top of the hotel's set price. This has nothing to do with what link you use. The only guarantee that would be meaningful is that the price you obtain for a client is as low or lower than the price anyone else will get. But that can't be determined, so guaranteeing that the bid will be accepted is not making any admission of overbidding. If I were in business I would guarantee that the price would be better than what Hotwire is offering for the same category by double the fee being charged and leave it at that. But I wouldn't because I would rather help someone do it themselves.

Review FW thread - I number of people tried to bid just below suggested value and got rejected. OP can find out the minimum winning bid at a given time using his methods (whatever they are).

How can one find out the amount a winning bid will require without actually buying the room? I assume the OP is just doing research at this point, while the customer is the one who later does the actual bidding (based on the OP's advice). Or am I missing something here???

It was speculated somewhere (perhaps on the FW thread, don't remember) that coolwulf uses a method similar to using dummy credit card numbers to put in lowball bids until getting an acceptance. This works because PL doesn't charge your CC (or attempt to) until you actually get an acceptance.
I can't imagine this is legal, but I know it's against PL's own rules.

I am aware this method but it's too time-consuming and not really "right" to do that. I can't reveal my source of knowing the minimum winning bid cause it might make it obsolete but you can think of me as a travel agent by knowing this information...
Looking for 2 rooms 5* hotel London central or London Heathrow, must have pool and include breakfast. 3 adults and 3 children, I don't mind paying your fees if you can tell me the budget for this

There is a link to Coolwulf's website on the first post of this thread. You should enter your request using the form on that website.

Priceline's annual report, June 2009 states that the prices are not disclosed to retail sources, travel agents, consolidators or other retail suppliers and may not be disclosed by the hotel in question but similar rates may be offered to consolidators or other travel providers under other arrangements.
Disclosure for the purpose of revealing the price of the hotel violates the basic assurance that Priceline offers its client hotels. The report notes that they are quite active in taking legal actions and they cite numerous instances.

No matter what you bid on Priceline, you can't get this. 5* hotels won't include breakfast. Also, Priceline in London for a 5* is certain to give you a double room only, so you'd need 3 rooms.

That's what I thought. Do you know of any other name your price sites that include breakfast and family rooms.
Thanks

not sure where you want to stay , but, maybe you might like they Hyatt Place hotel brand. the rooms can have two double beds and a pull out sofa that makes into another full size sofa bed. i always get an upgrade there , (even though i use priceline) and the upgraded room is a bit larger . the regular room is large too. they have free continental breakfast. starbucks coffee, fruit - cut for salad and whole fruit, yogurts, oatmeal, bagels, toast and cold cereal.
they are 3 star hotels usually. have a workout room and pool usually. large flat panel tv in room and nice set up for working desk and av controls. free shuttle to area places. they are available on hotwire side, in the forties. priceline in the 30s. imo, these are a good deal.
I wish the $2 fee charging guy good luck and looking forward to confirming the sites accuracy. Oh yes I will gladly pay $5 for a PL suggested is that would prevent my bid being "upgraded" to an old, wornout, hopelessly outdated Holiday Inn.
