Thanks for the clarification. I didn't even realize Resort was an option and that it is above a 4* status, but now I know for future bidding. And, I always use the PRICELINE link above since I value the information on this site.

I was only bidding on 4* hotels. I never selected 3* hence why I thought I was safe using Fountain Hills-Fort McDowell as a rebidding zone since according to Priceline, the highest star level for Fountain Hills-Fort McDowell area was 3* upscale. The other zones I selected were max 2* and 3* (lower than 4*) since I was using them for a free rebid.

:) Was looking to win the Westin Kierland. Bid $50 4* North Scottsdale, rejected. Added Apache 2* rebid $55 rejected, Added Chandler 3* rebid $60 rejected, Added E. Mesa 3* rebid 64 rejected. Added Fountain Hills Fort McDowell 3* rebid $66 and won the Radisson Fort McDowell deemed a 4 star resort! Never had this happened before and am not very pleased. Tried calling Priceline informing them that there was no option for a 4* hotel when you only select Fountain Hills-Fort McDowell before naming your price. If it were available for selection, I would not have used that as a rebidding zone. Priceline refused to let me rebid stating that it is a 4* resort. Just a warning for everyone when using Priceline. Is there anything I can do or will I be stuck in this hotel for 3 whole days?

Was looking more for something in Seattle Downtown. Got discouraged with all the rejections, so included Bellevue-Redmond. Seems like an ok place. At least parking is free.

Great deal. Now if only I can find a deal in Victoria! Used the PRICELINE link above.

Been lurking these boards for awhile. Thought I'd share my wins. We succesfully booked 2 rooms for these 3 nights. It seems like fall is pretty expensive. Started at $80 several weeks ago. Received counteroffer of $192 in Opera/Les Halles and $172 in St Germain/Latin Q/Montparnasse. Increased by $5 until hit $160 and was accepted. Seems like a fairly good deal. Used the PRICELINE link above. This site is awesome!
