Booking your next trip online is the easiest, cheapest way to go.
You can instantly see what each hotel has to offer, compare thousands of flights and sort through trip plans instantly.
Priceline and Hotwire might provide some of the best potential savings. But the catch is that you have to roll the dice and choose an anonymous hotel room.
Luckily, BetterBidding.com helps take care of the guess work.

BetterBidding.com is an active forum that helps you with identifying hotels in Hotwire and Priceline.
Hotwire
Hotwire gives you great savings for booking anonymous hotels, cars, flights, vacations, and cruises.
Although you won’t know the hotel, you’ll be able to see the neighborhood (location), number of stars and hotel amenities.
The amenitiy list is how you’ll be able to tell different hotels apart. The threads in BetterBidding.com are filled with past results from other people’s results. You can watch the hotel amenitiy list for the dates you’re looking at and get a good feel of the hotel possibilities.
The best example is the Strip area in Las Vegas. Search for your trip dates and make a note of the Star level and amenitiy list. Now go back to BetterBidding.com and you should be able to see what others are getting for similar results.
Priceline
Priceline also gives you great deals for booking anonymous hotels. You start by entering a city name and looking through the results.
Immediately, you will see the star level and starting bid price. What’s great about Priceline is that it will give you the last major winning bid (from today to one week ago). It will also tell you how much (as a percentage) the last bid saved.
If you’re looking for a specific deal, you can also set up an email alert. This way you’ll be updated when your deal is available.
Again, BetterBidding.com helps you identify what potential hotels you’re bidding on. Once you get a feel for it, you should be able to see trends and figure out which hotels are available in each major area.
What about you? How do you save on hotels?
