Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

A couple of comments / possibilities to explain the above:

1) not all hotels that participate on the bidding side of PRICELINE necessarily participate on the 'retail' side of PRICELINE, so you can't use the 'regular' (retail) listings to determine all the possibilities of what you may receive when bidding

2) at the point of the bidding process that you're at, PRICELINE has not yet checked rates or inventory for your dates.  So 4* bidding may be a select-able option in this zone, even though PRICELINE does not have any 4* availability in this zone for your dates (and why no 4* hotel in this zone is shown on the 'retail' side of their service when you checked there)

 

Just as one example, the Sheraton Rio Hotel and Resort is currently 4* rated by priceline and appears to be within the boundaries of this zone (there could be and are likely others too... i just listed the first one i saw)

 

Are you trying to target (or avoid) a specific hotel for this trip OR are you flexible to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you choose?  What is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this trip?

So to confirm... do you want to start by trying for a 4* (or higher) hotel in the copacabana zone or ipanema zone, with a $100 maximum bid?

 

... or what was your current gameplan?

Unfortunately there are no re-bid zones available when bidding the 4* level in Rio de Janeiro.

 

I would suggest bidding as follows:

 

Select 4* Copacabana...

Bid $80, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Select 4* Ipanema - Leblon...

Bid $80, if rejected add Copacabana...

Bid $85

 

If the above is rejected wait 2 hour and once again use this link to access PRICELINE (and not the link in any emails that may send you letting you know that you're eligible to bid again):

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Select 4* Ipanema - Leblon...

Bid $90, if rejected add Copacabana...

Bid $95

 

 

If the above is rejected wait 2 hour and once again use this link to access PRICELINE (and not the link in any emails that may send you letting you know that you're eligible to bid again):

Bid $98, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Select 4* Ipanema - Leblon...

Bid $98, if rejected add Copacabana...

Bid $100

 

Any questions feel free to ask.
