Cool, I will have to check into it.

With Priceline, you pick an area (like in Chicago, you can pick O'Hare, downtown, and a few others), a "star-rating" and make a bid. If a hotel accepts your bid, your credit card is immediately charged. In other words, you don't pick your hotel, it picks you. For price comparisons, I've done it three times in Chicago - once downtown and twice out by O'Hare. Out by O'Hare, I got a night at the Hyatt for $50. Downtown, I got 2 nights at a swanky boutique hotel (The Allegro: http://chicago.citysearch.com/profile/3632745/chicago_il/allegro_chicago_a_k impton_hotel.html) for $80/night. The cheapest Expedia/Orbitz/Travelocity rates for the same area and nights were over $100, and we ended up in a nicer hotel than we could have done otherwise, too. It varies a lot, depending on what's going on, when you book, and if you're in tourist season or not. But, you can get hotels for sometimes more than half off the lowest advertised prices. For instance, the Allegro's current rate is ~200/night. I think it was slightly less than that in the winter when we went. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243262 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
