Anyone ever use priceline.com and know about how low you can bid?

I started at $25 per night in downtown Atlanta and ended up getting a Hyatt (3+ stars) for $40 a night for 22 nights!!! Just be careful not to start to high, because it will not let you bid lower as it remembers you IP or log in.

From what I have heard, you put the lowest rate in that you can. Say something like $20, you could get lucky and get it. But just be aware, you may not get a very nice hotel by putting this rate in. Even if you say you want a ___ star hotel, you may get something lower, and you can't cancel it. So just try putting low amounts in until you get something.

If you are thinking about an alternative, be careful with EXPEDIA. They are having a lot of troubles with customers. Read this: http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/
