Freedman Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 OK, so following on from my precruise success (see previous thread):$110 rejected$115 rejected todayPlan is to go up in small increments as I have time. If there are any ways to reduce the 72 hour wait time (eg zones with no resort that act as a free rebid) or any other ideas, these would be appreciated. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 There is one re-bid when bidding Resort in this zone. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Freedman Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Not sure what you mean. When I made my bid yesterday, it told me I could only rebid using the same parameters by waiting 72 hours Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 See this thread: PRICELINE RE-BIDDING and then ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zone with the board before trying.

Freedman Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I remembered what to do as soon as I posted (can you remove or amend a reply once posted?)Anyway, I added the rebid zone (Mayaguez - Isabela) which has no resort. I upped the bid to $125 but got reject.I have added the boutique also (hotels are extremely short supply that weekend from reviewing their own websites)Was rejected again at $135. Now see no choice but to wait 72 hours.Can you recommend somewhere I can book an 'insurance' hotel that can be cancelled if I have Priceline success? Link to comment

Freedman Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 HiHope you had a good weekend awayAnyway, Bid today $140 REJECTED$150 REJECTED Reading the next topic, this does not seem surprising.I have booked the Normandie Hotel as a mid price ($180) back up. Looks the best in its class (maybe you know better) but would not like to chance my arm on which hotel I get through Priceline below Resort level in San Juan Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Unfortunately most San Juan hotels are high in price and lacking in service... once you get beyond a few select properties, you're really choosing "the best of the worst". :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Freedman Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Got the Caribe Hilton in the end for $130, just from trying and trying..... Link to comment
theory12 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 :) I am curious if they added a $19 per day resort fee? Read that in Trip Advisor recently. But only one person mentioned it. Link to comment
