I have been bidding through priceline for almost 4 years now, I have been consistently getting the same prices in a area where i stay.

 

If I am in a new area, and I am bidding for a 2 star hotel and the median price is 75$, I start my bidding at 40$ and if I win, the next week i bid for 38$. I keep doing this till I find the minimum bid and I continue to use this as a standard for the bid price in that area.

 

Of late PL is only giving me 10$ less than the median price. So I get 65$ on a 75$ median price.

 

I contacted PL to see if I have been blacklisted and they said they have a place where they can see, and said they didn't see me as the same.

 

What are the alternative strategies, should I use a nickname, do the first and last name have to be exactly the same as legal name.

I have used a different credit card and different account but no luck..

 

did anyone have similar experience where the bid price is so high ? What am i doing wrong

It would have been appreciated if you were sharing your wins during this time so that others could benefit from the information, as your last post here was over 3+ years ago. :(

Maybe there is another user who has recently won in one of the area(s) you have currently having trouble with, but they too didn't post their win... yet knowing about their (higher priced) win in the area could have benefited you in regards to your current situation.

The median price shown by PRICELINE is meaningless and shouldn't be used in determining a bidding strategy.

If you'd like help with an upcoming stay feel free to post in the appropriate state category with the details of your trip (zone, star rating, budget, dates, etc) and we will assist you there... and please begin to post and share your wins.
