In the end I chose "Rental Car."

At $6.74 it was probably the lowest rental car booking the system has ever seen.
Back in Priceline's heyday, I was a heavy user for hotels. I was messing around with testing something out and put in dates for an upcoming trip and bid $1. And got something thanks to a $25 AMEX bonus.

Best part was that I had bid for 2 rooms, one for me, and one for a relative who was going to show up and meet me there, and we were going golfing for the weekend after that. So my receipt was for $7.40, and I asked for 50%, or $3.70.

My CFO was so stunned that she immediately exempted me from every policy about using our corporate travel agency.

Fun times back then.
