Created out of the desire to save money...
I love staying at luxury hotels but I love saving
money even more. What could be greater than staying at
first-class, 5-star hotels
at rock bottom prices? I have booked several dozen, if not
hundreds of hotels on Hotwire and Priceline, and have saved a lot of
money with successful hotel bids and purchases.
A couple years back, I began to keep a spreadsheet of
my hotel reservations on Hotwire and Priceline's Name Your Own Price. I would record the
hotel name, location, amenities (Hotwire), price, and travel dates. From
this, I was able to accurately predict which hotels I was likely to get
and how much to bid on Priceline.
Many of my friends and work associates
caught wind of the Hotwire - Priceline Winnding Bid Spreadsheet
and hotel lists. I shared it with them and they found it
extremely useful when bidding on Priceline or identifying a hotel on Hotwire or Priceline.
They forwarded
it to their friends and so on and so on. I started to get emails from
people I didn't even know expressing gratitude or asking to to update
the spreadsheet because they found a hotel not on my list. Wow!
The spreadsheet and emails soon became too much for me to handle and
this site came about.
Hopefully
you will find the information in this site and the Hotwire & Priceline Forum useful.
