1. Failed for 4* CA - Cupertino - Campbell ============================== 2. Added CA Sunnyvale - Santa Clara and downed to 2 1/2 etc. Was accepted on the first bid of $45 Country Inn And Suites Sunnyvale 1300 Chesapeake Terrace Sunnyvale, CA 94089 408-747-0999 Sunday, April 18, 2010 ~Tuesday, April 20, 2010-12:00 PM This hotel Chain/Site currently offers Spring Sale of stay 2 nights, 1 free (working out to be $105 /night), Trust the PRICELINE deal also includes the Free hot Breakfast normally offered.

$75 bid accepted after receiving a counter offer of $91 after the bid of $70.

If helps, just now, I noted that HOTWIRE has added a new quote of $119 for 4-star Downtown Vancouver West area Hotel of 8 amenities, along with the other site of $126 of 6 amenities (Wall Centre? which is totally smoke free but not showing that icon).

Then, what may be the best terms to use in limiting the search of "4* hotels only in Vancouver"? About the 5-Rebidding zones-permutation, I just want to point out that the strategy/order per (Post #56 of the thread 16) is not the most efficient way handling the situation, calling for far too many unnecessary closing the browser to re-start up again. May be there are other postings/topic since have reflected corrections, but my search of this site did not find any.

If it is the hotel as suggested, I probably will jump on it soon. I stayed there last June, $200+/night, after my wife strengously objected to PRICELINE arrangement. BTW, for the downtown Vancouver 4* hotels, PL has reported now a new-lower-than-last-week average price for this July wknd. Now if the trend continues.... Thanks. PS. for the other 2 questions, I would appreciate you taking a close look of the 5-Rebidding-Zone question; if the "4* Vancouver" search is somehow limited by the system.

Thanks for the help on the Reward $. For the Vancouver's bid of July 23-25: As that weekend is in the cruise season, 4* hotels web rates are now quoting at about $260 etc, I know it's early, I am just playing trying to be lucky to to get around at $ 115. Hotwire currently quotes $129 for a 4* Downtown Vancouver West area Hotel of six amenities (fitness, pool, restaurant, business, wireless, spa); which hotel it maybe? ============= To the forum administrator: If possible and not violating any rules etc, can it possible to have my two other questions now Post #2 (Search "Vancouver 4*") and #3 ( 5-rebidding-zones permutation) in this topic to other appropriate forums ( I originally posted them as separate questions at the Question/Suggestion Forum) so that I may get some answers or clarifications.

I have been bidding an International City; with its downtown-4*'s 5 free-rebid zones, I have read up the re-bidding permutation techniques presented in this website. e.g. Post #56 in the Thread ============================================================== Priceline and Hotwire Forum > Tips and Tricks for Priceline and Hotwire > General Priceline Tips "Bidding Again before 24 hours (Used to be 72 hours), -it can often be done!" Post #56: http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?sho...st&p=186688 (I could only find this being the latest posting in this web site on this subject; are there some more updated pieces elsewhere ?) ============================================================== My question is about the permutations listed here seeming not in a proper order that requests to close the Browser and to Start Up Again no less than 25 times for the 30 (shouldn't be 31?) re-biddings here. I noted there is a listing somewhere that can work out to only needing to close the browser 15 times (in a different order) for the same 5-zones strategy.

1. To Search the site, it seems that I have to log in. 2. How to Search "Vancouver 4*" ? I have no problems getting search results of "Vancouver", but with "4*" added, I would then get error page. Is it possible to do a search of "Vancouver 4*" or equivalent ?

After a few days of PL bidding (failed) through the link(what's its name/ID) on the top right corner, PL eMailed me a $30 (2-days only) bonus link. How to use your link to earn the bonus $? how to proceed?

In my case: Oct 9~16 EWR The Code works for Mini Van $384 vs. $444 ; but not others (same$$) of Budget Vehicles. Except for Mini Van, Hertz Code turns out better deal than this Budget Code.

Priceline Car Rental Bid/ReBid : How does it work ? Is it the same as for PriceLine Hotel? Suggestions Any other extra things I need to know before start bidding: Travelling to NYC via Newark (EWR) Oct 9-16. Thanks.

US$90+19 ... 08/16/06 (Wed)..1 nite

bid 2 rooms for 07/17 Night (Monday) ============================================= Failed bids : 4* $65 Cupertino $69 added Milptas Success : 3* $60 Cupertino/ Milptas (both zones grayed out for 4*) ============================================= Taxes & Service Fees : $22.38 Total Charges : $142.38

If my memory served right I used PriceLine three times. Sorry i did not report the first Paris trip, as that was not a win, but a recommended price I accepted after the first bid rejected. I am quite sure that I reported the next two, or at least the Vancouver one: a) toronto, spring 2004 :) Vancouver, last November but I may have used "Guest", as I have forgotten my account name/password, until recently I have recovered those info. Now, the computer remembers and logs me directly, saving the hassale. *********************************************************************************** Yes, one more Las Vegas Trip Labor Day, 2005 @ Bally's through your Las Vegas Checker +++ If it helps, I have always booked all my PL thru SavingsBarn.com ******************************************************************************** Thanks for your understanding.

How does PriceLine Car Rental charge Fees/Taxes? Daily? or Per Rental? I need a car (pref. full size) for the SFO-Sunnyvale CA area, between July 13 Thurs and July 22 Sat. Wondering what kind of deal I would get from PriceLine car rental vs. directly from Hertz? or other consolidators? Is Orbitz a consolidator? Does PriceLine Car Rental work like bidding their hotel? treating car categories like * for hotels, etc. What's a good bidding strategy for my case? Thanks

I also need a room near Lowell/westford June 22-26. Found the PriceLine Hotel list: Salem, NH - Andover, MA (Billerica - Tewksbury) 3* Doubletree Lowell 3* Radisson Chelmsford 3* Wyndham Where to find the hotel locations/info? How do I start the bidding process for this zone? Boston Map does not have this zone? other strategy/suggestions I need to be aware of? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

In March, I used Priceline twice. Now my master card statement indicated that for each PL transaction: beside the Priceline charges for the hotle, there is also an additional $9 charge by the BuyerAssurance? What's going on? I remember seeing some $10 cash rebate certificate for the next Priceline purchase. But I don't recall there is a $9 charge by BA for this.

For Priceline address, I used the suggested format in this forum (1st/2nd lines squeezing all my Cdn address in including the Zip Code" then use "Seattle, Wash, 99999" for the City/State/PostCode. Later I received an electronic $10 Cash back certificate that had the first line "house number, street" , 2nd line ignored , with "Seattle, Wash, 99999" as C/S/Z. I guess with the address shown like this, I would not get the $10 cheque from the reservationrewards.com that would mail the cheque to the address shown in the certificate. Any Suggestions?
