Hi - feel free to move this to the Northern VA forum if that's where it belongs...it's more of a general question about this strategy though. Right now I am bidding on a room in Northern VA for 9/26-28, and there are 5 areas (for my purposes): ABCDE. I want to stay at a 3* in A. BCDE all have only 2* or below, so I should have plenty of free rebids, and used the permutations listed in this thread above. I started with A, then did AB, ABC, ABCD, ABCDE (because things were getting greyed out and I figured I'd use these combinations before restarting the browser to do AC, AD, etc.). I didn't get a win, closed my browser (IE), tried again to bid with AC. Said it was a duplicate request. I closed my browser, came back in, and deleted my cookies...tried again, still said AC and AD and any other combo were all duplicate requests at that point. Is there a specific order I have to do these combos in so Priceline doesn't lock me out (the order given in this thread)? If I had done AB, then logged out and done AC, would it have worked? Or has priceline gotten too smart? Any advice is great. Thanks! edit: I'm writing this message at 2:27 board time, which was 24 hours after my initial try of A, AB, ABC, ABCD, ABCDE. However, yesterday at about 5pm board time I went back and tried other combinations on their own AC, AD, AE, etc. It is possible that priceline sets the 24 hour limit based on which combination you try? It let me bid A, AB, ABC, ABCD, ABCDE, but not the combinations I tried last night at 5pm...I figured it was all based on the same date of stay, so it was 24hrs from the time of first combination bid. Maybe I'm wrong? Does this even make sense?
