My latest is $40 (add $20 AmEx bonus) + tax + fees for the Royal Kona in Kona, HI for mid-Dec. midweek. Similar and higher bids in the Kona area were rejected for the weekend so I used travelscape.com to secure rooms at $70/nt.

A gentle prod from your friendly Priceline board moderator for those that forgot... please take the five minutes to post your results in the right subboard over there. There are a bunch of people over there that don't fly very often, but would benefit from seeing your results.

Sheryl,
First. A thank you. I used Priceline for the first time for a hotel at New Orleans airport. Thirty-six big ones plus the Amex $20 on a Sunday night.
Just another reason why these boards are so good (and profitable).
