Travel Deal of the Day (April 23, 2009)

If you are traveling to London this spring or summer, be sure to think about Priceline to save money on your hotel.

The Deal:
Priceline (a service allowing you to bid for a hotel by choosing the location and star rating, but not the specific hotel) is offering great rates for four and five star hotels in London. (Hotwire, a service that provides a discounted price for a hotel in a selected location and with a selected star rating without providing the exact hotel name) is also offering good deals. People are posting on BiddingForTravel and Better Bidding (websites dedicated to posting winning bids for Priceline and Hotwire) that you can successfully obtain a four star hotel in London for 51 Pounds to 69 Pounds and a five star hotel for 89 Pounds to 103 Pounds. This is a tremendous savings off of standard rates, and this deal can help you trim your travel budget during a difficult economy.

How:
Use sites such as BiddingforTravel and BetterBidding to review winning bids on Priceline and hotel prices on Hotwire.
