Great concept
I would appreciate receiving an invitation code please. It usually takes too much time getting updated Priceline data for hotel lists, bid successes and failures, etc.
With your service I would use Priceline more and can assure you that when I have used the other sites I always reported back results to add to the pool of current info.
I am traveling more now because of family additions on the west coast and look forward to using your service with or without codes. It will be of great value to me. Thank you.

hogwarts-
Think you've set the record for the longest time to make a first post after registering- 11 years.

So the website doesn't really explain anything (or maybe I'm just dumb), so I've got some questions:
1) Is 3 points the only option to buy?
2) How many points does it cost for 1 inquiry? All 3 points? Or just 1 point?
3) If it's only 1 point, am I able to save the rest for a much later date (ie 2 years from now)? Do the points ever expire? Do you think you'll ever raise the amount of points it takes for an inquiry?
4) The "zone number" drop-down menu, that corresponds with the numbers that show up on Priceline's Name Your Own Price under "Step 1", correct?
Thanks

Setting record
I am looking forward to doing more than just lurking every year or so given the potential benefits your forum/site offers. Thanks for the invite.

Tutorial on how to use BidPriceCheck (BPC) to get the minimum bidding price
Tutorial on using BPC
BidPriceCheck (BPC) is the ultimate service to help you find the minimum bidding price on Priceline when using its "Name Your Own Price" (NYOP) service.
Here we try to go through step by step to tell you how to use this service.
1. Figure out where to stay on Priceline's NYOP zone map
In this example, I want to stay in Toronto, ON, Canada for a weekend. After input the city information on Priceline's NYOP service, I see such a map:
Since I'm going to visit wonderland adventure park, I decide to choose the zone which is close to it, and this zone is zone number 16.
You need to click the zone number which you want to stay to see what are the star levels available for this zone:
Where I find the highest star available for this zone is 3*. So I cannot bid over 3*.
2. Go to BidPriceCheck(BPC) to submit my inqury
At the moment, BPC is an invitation-based service and you need to obtain an invitation code to sign up.
After sign in, you will see the service selection page.
Select "Bidding Hotel Room"
In the state or region selection page,
Select "Canada"
In the bidding info page, select city "Toronto", hotel star (for me, 3*) and corresponding travel dates
You will be prompted with the confirmation page
After you press the submit, you will see the "success" page, meaning your inqury is successfully submitted to BPC.
3. Check your email in 5 - 10 minutes
You shall recieve the minimum bidding information such as follows:
4. Go ahead and bid with the suggested amount
We can see from the previous email that the minimum bidding price is $60 for my travel dates. Then I just go to Priceline's NYOP service page and put this amount in the bidding price box:
5. Buy points
Each inquery will cost 1 point, and you need to use Paypal to buy points.
6. Get the hotel with the minimum bidding price!
Feel free to share this tutorial with your friends or on your blog.
