I decided to go to the Windy City for a weekend after thanksgiving ( Fri-Sun ), last night .

A little bit too late for a good airfare and a little bit too late for a good hotel rate.

So I decided to go by a car ( ~10h of driving ) and get a hotel room via Priceline.com

I bid ( now ... don't laugh ) .. $25!/night
for 2 nights at O'hare area.

I also got the $25 bonus by applying for a credit card, so my total bid was $50.

After 10 minutes !! I got an email stating the I'll be a guest of Marriott Chicago O'hare (4* hotel). A weekend stay for 2 night for $65 with taxes !!
That is called a good deal

I've used Priceline.com twice already and both bids were for hotel room in Chicago. Also both times I got Marriott Chicago O'hare.
Seems like they like me
