I hope so

Not what I was hoping for  but it is the chance you take  with bidding 

Just  got Royal Amsterdam hotel  4*  for $190 

for  my July dates

bid $185 for 5 * Royal Palace zone

rejected

rebid & added Canal zone east 4*

accepted

not a great savings  but the price works out OK

Bid $185 for Royal Palace  zone 5*

 Then re bid $190  included  Canal  Zone 4*

got  Royal Amsterdam Hotel

when we travelled with friends 

I booked  2 rooms on PL  then they just paid me  the $$  for their room

Once at the hotel they just gave their  CC for incidentals  ...

Just adding my 2 cents

I am bidding for Amsterdam for July

I am only doing 4 or 5*  for  2 zones  Royal palace & Canal plantage  but prices they recommend are over $200 

I just bid every few days  ( I still have time)  last bid rejected was $190  as I get closer to the date I need I will increase the bid

I have booked a refundable hotel  just incase

Try not to stress about bidding ..worst case  you could do  the Express hotel option or just keep the one you have booked

so  I see this thread is over a year old  but I do not see a bidding option

I am guessing they discontinued it or I am missing the link ??

I just see express deals

Anyone know if you can still bid on hotels ??

Thanks

Good to know they are still offering the Marriott

Will try for it for June 2014

We stayed at the BP last June on a priceline win and it was fine ..just ask for a quiet room location ...lots of Cafes within a short walk

When I bid for early June I saw someone got a 5* for $100 so I started there, got the BP for $102

I think $85 is too low but that is just my opinion

Best of luck with your bidding

Bid for Zone 2 & 5* most seem to be getting the BP for around $100 ..I got it for June for $102

Just keep trying Start again at $95 you never know when it will come up with the right price ;)

I noticed that someone got the BP for Oct so I guess it is not too early to bid for

Aug

Have you checked to see if any major events are happening the same time you want a hotel?

If you are bidding for Amsterdam they now have 5 zones

City centre & Museum are separate now

Bid for Zone 2

Started at $90 rejected

$95 Rejected

$100 rejected

$102 score

I am happy with that

I think you just have to stay at the hotel or take the hit

As I understand it ...no refunds if you cancel

did you read the fine print before bidding?

Sounds like you need to do a lot more research before you use NYOP again

Maybe someone will have a suggestion for you

Hi,

I'm having trouble securing a hotel from arriving on March 29th and checking out April 1st. I've bid up to $120 per night for a 4 or 5 star hotel and have been refused. Does anyone have any tips? I'm seeing that people are getting 5 stars for 100 and 4 stars for 75...

Maybe start at $80 and just go up a few $ each day ..most bids I have seen are lower than $120

Will be traveling to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Never been to this area before, and have no idea where to start. Any suggestions for PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links? Prefer something in the center.

For Priceline you want to pick Zone #2 when you are bidding

Winning bids seem to be higher this year so maybe you need to just up the bid a few $

You still have time to get a good deal

Seems to be working OK again

got in twice today YEAH

Thanks Romelle

I forgot about that option

Deleted the cookies that way still no luck

I did manage to get 1 bid in before I was knocked out again :)

I think the Rogers IP is blocked from PL because of the spam that hppened on the weekend

Will try again in a few days

Good luck to all

Well more problems

Seems I have to clear my cookies to get into PL unfortunately it clears all my other sites too :)

What a PITA

I think Rogers was hacked as all weekend we were getting loads of spam even from ourselves ..all with Rogers.com addresses

Yes Rogers here too

I am on a PC using Firefox & I.E.

If it is the ISP then..... if anyone finds the answer please let us know

As for only a few reporting problems not everyone know about this site or FT & may not look for place to report problem

UPDATE

Just cleared cookies & cache now I got in

A FT moderator posted this as a possible working link to PRICELINE:

http://travelc.priceline.com...home.do?rdr=2

I tried it, and it doesn't blow up my computer or else anything scary. Just took me straight into Priceline.

Romelle

Thanks

Did not work either

I have tried different browsers, different computers

I guess I will give up for now

I just hope my car rental was paid for by PL

Anyone have any luck getting in???

Have they gone forever?

I have tried since Thurs no luck

Tried BB link PRICELINE direct & link in email from them ...no go

Bid Jul 20th for $11 for standard

Bid July 21 for economy for $11

Confirmed with Alamo

Thanks for the explanation

I will check into prices first before bidding
