Oops I forgot! It was a late night for me :)
I'll be at the Hilton Cincinnati Airport.
I started with $35. Didn't accept, but offered to let me raise my bid to 50 without changing anything.
I didn't take that, added rebid zone, 38, refused
added rebid zone, accepted at $41.
I used the PRICELINE links off the board! Happy bidding!
AHA! Now I get it!
I ended up with the Millennium (3.5*) for $44. I've read other posts on here about $6 parking nearby, as well as free checkin upgrades, so I'll try my luck with that too!
I followed thereuare's instructions, and used the link, but in the last set I went $42, 44 and got accepted there.
Thanks SO MUCH!!! I totally understand it now :)
Thank you for being so helpful! Since I'm new to this, I just wanted to be sure of my rebid zones...
When I just search for a hotel, it gives me a different list of zones that the list on the name your own price page.
The only one I find with no hotels at 3.5+ is Cincinnati East. But when I compare the two maps, it looks like maybe Cincinnati Northwest-Fairfield, or maybe Ft. Mitchell would be the other one?
Thanks again!
I guess $45+tax/fees would be my max.
I'm looking to get a room in areas 6 or 9 (near US Bank Arena) for one night 2/13/11 (this Sunday) leavin 2/14/11.
Here's what I bid tonight and was rejected:
3.5* areas 6&9 $35
I want to book the room as a backup in case we don't feel like driving back to Lex after Linkin Park. So it's not a super necessity, but I don't want to spend a ton for the simple fact that we might not check in, and if we do, we'll be leaving EEEAAARLY to get to work Monday morning.
Another consideration, I don't want it to be super sleezy because the concert tickets are a Valentine's gift ( :) ) to my boyfriend, so I'm not so keen on dropping any *s.
Advice? And if you just think I need to suck it up and offer more $, feel free to go ahead and tell me. :)

I thought I was starting low at $60, and I had all my extra zones picked out, but it was accepted on the first try at Holiday Inn. $60, total $75.83.
