Priceline...gotta use Priceline!

So, the Buckman's along with some friends went to Chicago about three weeks ago. Like we do for all of our traveling we used Priceline. We always stay at very nice hotels for about half price. So, we used it this time to cover our airfare/hotel/rental vehicle. We traveled American, stayed at the Renaissance, and had a 08' Suburban to drive around. Now, the weather wasn't the greatest while we were there. It rained but mostly while we slept and in the morning.
We get this e-mail when we get home that basically tells us we're getting a refund because of all the rain.... I didn't believe until the check came...which means we essentially had a free trip to Chicago. How awesome! So...if you've never used Priceline...try it out. We always get cheap rooms wherever we go...which we'll bid either on the day of or the day before and get a 4-star for half-off. The Buckman's are now lifetime users of Priceline.
