I contacted PL and here is Priceline's response: "We understand that you wish to know if we have redifined the zones for Waikiki Beach or simply renamed the East Zone as South and the West Zone as North. For your convenience, we've broken down many major cities into more manageable zones, and provided maps on our website indicating where each zone starts and ends. We are constantly updating our maps depending on feedback, and hence are unable to determine if the map for Waikiki has been changed or redefined." :)

Good Topic! Contact PL and ask them what they have done to the Zones! :)

ThereUAre! You do give good advice! After reading numerous posts, I am inclined to believe that Resorts are FREE re-bids for 5* bids on the Strip. My dates are Sat 26 JUly-Wed 30 July (4 nites). I have another friend who did not listen to me to book the Sat nite separately and got the 5* Venetian for $179/nite for the exact dates I want for another friend! Live and learn! :)

Booking for a friend a 5* on the Strip in Vegas. Are areas/zones on PL that don't have 5* hotels but have Resorts safe FREE Re-bids? :)

Thanks, I'm slow but trainable! :)

Azri, please be kind enough to clarify, "Well, it's only up to $50. So $52 or $51 is the lowest possible for my trips. ( 8 nights ). $47 is good for people who wants to stay less than 5 night. I already knew it was $57 before I bid." Tks! :)

Most interesting! Please be kind enough to keep us posted on what you find! Tks! :)

Great! Tell us your secret? Do you have a Europe address or something similiar? Tks!

Great for you! Please be so kind to post the details of your PL booking including taxes paid. Tks! :)

Great deal you got! Plz be kind enough to tell us all about your bidding strategy, dates, and the taxes paid. Knowing these things would be most helpful. Thanks:D

It is refreshing to see that PL is upgrading 3* to 4*! I have not seen this happen much in the past. I've been upgraded numerous times from a 2* to 3* but never from a 3* to a 4*. :)

I've stayed here sometime back on a PL bid and it was then a true 4 * hotel! The Executive Floor is quite nice. :)

Z, I emailed ya the discussion link, but here it is for others to see what my concern is. This rental is for a friend and we all know how that can go!

Would appreciate assistance on renting a mid-size car for a month (split into 2--15 day contracts due to insurance limits on many credit cards) in Houston, TX. Am concerned about some of the Codes used (especially AVIS--A153700 & D002807) by folks on that other board and grief they have at the Rental Car Counter. Hotwire is showing $21/day ++. As always, Thanks! :)

With such SUPER guidance from ThereUAre, TheSqueeGeeKid & others one can only expect great results! These folks will help all users save gobs of $$$$! I can't begin to tell you how much money they have saved me on hotel rooms in the short time this great website has been up. BOTTOMLINE--They are true Gurus of Priceline bidding!! :)

You guys are good! :)

What is TOBB?

OH YES!! IT IS AMAZING!! You are good, ThereUAre!! :)

What is TOBB, please? :)

I too saw the BW but it was for 1 King Bed and there will be 3 folks in this stay. Yes, summer time is high season in the Badlands & Custer Park. Perhaps waiting til a month or so before arrival something will come up with PL. I will keep ya posted. Tks! :)

WOW! What a super followup! You did a lot of indepth research and I do appreciate that! I've tested the water and find this to be extremely high season for the Rapid City area and found that it will take $70 to get a 2* hotel! I have a backup reservation at the not so nice Days Inn for $77. I will keep ya posted on my progress and appreciate anyone else feedback and advise! :)

Did you get FREE local calls and a room upgrade?

Great tutorial with wise info! :)

Plz be so kind to post taxes paid for us to figure what PL paid for the room. Tks! :)
