Started with 4* bidding in Downtown at $55; used all five free rebid areas at 4* incrementally up to $90; all were rejected. Closed my browser and re-tried at 3.5* in University area starting at $50 and was rejected. Increased to $55 and added Downtown and rejected; added free rebid zone in Cherry Hill and increased to $60 and bid was accepted!
I am very pleased, as Downtown area was my #1 location. Marriott Downtown is listed at $169 per night on all other sites.
I started my bidding using the site's PRICELINE link.
