Advice on Getting Cheap Deals from Hotwire and Priceline

Great article with strategies on how to get the best deals on Hotwire and Priceline: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/travel/12pracopaque.html?ex=1254888000&en=d9043ae1c07ce189&ei=5087&WT.mc_id=TR-D-I-NYT-MOD-MOD-M092-ROS-0409-L1&WT.mc_ev=click

Why I love Priceline:

Scoped out a weeklong rental using every coupon code and discount I could find online. Best deal I could find was at Hertz, $242 using my AAA discount.

Went to Priceline and won for $169.63. Same car, also at Hertz.

And got 1.1% cashback through QuickRewards.net, too. ;)
