A few fantastic tips to find the best luxury hotels at up to 70% off
There are literally millions of hotels all vying for your money online and it's up to the discerning consumer to wade through them all and find the best deal. The more conventional approach is to use a price comparison site such as Travel Supermarket or Trip Advisor however, depending on where you're going, you can snag and even superior bargain to that made available by either of the two price comparison sites listed. The trick is to use a service called Priceline, which effectively lets you name your price on surplus hotels rooms which hoteliers wish to offload.
Priceline is your standard price comparison site but where it really comes into its own is with it bidding format where you can effectively stipulate how much you want to pay for a room at a particular hotel. You can pick hotels from all across the world however this method is particularly useful for hotels in The USA (and works best for these hotels). All you need to do is enter in your criteria, the number of stars you want to opt for and your price the trick with Priceline is to go as low as possible and keep bidding until your offer is accepted. The main problem with this approach however is that Priceline only lets you submit one bid per day, however there is a way to get around this.
The first thing you can do is select a different area zone depending on where you're going, Priceline will allow you to select a different zone within a particular location and then bid again. Another option of course is to use a credit card of a partner all you need to do is ensure that your e-mail and names are different and then Priceline will again, let you bid again (you can obviously keep doing this if you have more people going with you or willing to lend you their credit card). However, the one important thing you have to remember about Priceline is that bids are final; if your bid is accepted then there is no going back, you have to pay. There is also no possibility of acquiring a refund so you have to be sure that it is where you wish to go.
