BID BID BID!!! Priceline's where it's at!

I'm a HUGE advocate for Priceline's "Name Your Own Price"! You can get amazing deals on hotels, flights, and car rentals! Though you must be a risk-taker to succeed with this endeavor, I assure you it's well worth it! Here's just a few sample deals I've gotten in the past through "NYOP"...

• $70 for a $170 room at the InterContinental Hotel & Resort Buckhead in Atlanta, GA.. which they in turn upgraded us to a $600 Executive Suite for the weekend
• $240 for a $350 plane ticket to Fort Lauderdale, FL
• $99 for a $400 room at the Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Orlando, FL (disclaimer: back in 2004! but still a fantastic deal then)
• $99 for a 200EURO room at the Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center in Paris, France (amazing amazing bedding, superb service & RIGHT by a metro stop!)
