Priceline's "name your own price" feature can save you a great deal on quality hotel rooms (and other travel), but the negotiating process can be time-consuming and setting the right price confusing. Budgets Are Sexy offers a strategy that combines Hotwire and Priceline.
Instead of starting with a low price and having to raise it as necessary (putting in your credit card information each time or possibly getting your offer rejected), the simple strategy is to go to Hotwire and find out the price for the type of room you're looking for, then in Priceline enter a price that's 30% less than the Hotwire price as your offer. So, for example, if the price for a hotel room is $177 per night on Hotwire, use $123.90 when you name your price.
This strategy saved the writer around 40% off discount prices quoted for similar rooms on Travelocity. Definitely worth a try for low-cost hotel prices on Priceline.
