Yep, I see that I'm bidding too low.... As for rebidding, I am doing Daytona Beach Shores (Call it Zone A) AB ABC ABCD ABCDE (NOT choosing Daytona Beach because it also has 4* hotels, but is farther away, so I'm skipping it). I think what my problem is is that I close the TAB in my browser when I want to do something like Zone ACD, rather than close the whole browser. I will try that. However, I just went to bid again for today and I went up to 90 and still didn't get even a counter offer. I'm wondering if the fact that it is Mother's Day weekend might have something to do with it.

Thanks for the info. I am willing to accept any 4* in the area, but the point for me here is to spend about the same for a better hotel, than for a less-than-stellar hotel elsewhere. Probably my max would be 85 - 90 - if I go higher than that, I might as well stay in New Smyrna Beach, which is where the wedding will be (the wedding is on the beach). The selection of hotels there is pretty lousy, so I started surfing around on Priceline and Hotwire. Priceline has this hotel for $187 per night, so I guess I would need to bid around 90-95 (that would be about 50%) per night? Appreciate the info!

I am trying to book this deal via Priceline for May 7 and 8, but so far I've bid up to $75 using the rebidding techniques mentioned on this board and I am getting rejections - no counter offers. How do you get a counter offer? When I am rejected it says "We're sorry, we can't accept a bid of $$ for a hotel in the Daytona Beach area. Try your request again." Then I did, with the rebididng and whatnot, but then I get dinged for a Duplicate request. Any info or help you can pass along?

I have never done PRICELINE before and I am trying to score this property for May 7 (check out May 9) I read the tips on Free Re-Bidding on your website, but I've bid anywhere from 55 up to 79$ in the past 2 days and haven't gotten any counter offers. How do you get counter offers? It just says it can't fulfill my request. Do you think maybe it has no rooms available for that day? (If I check PRICELINE regular NON NYOP hotels, it is available) I am confused and don't want to spend any more than I have to (I'm unemployed and have to go to a family wedding).
