Interesting bidding strategy I tried & it worked. I had been trying to get a resort San Juan for 10/22 (pre-cruise). I kept bidding $100 (and $110 rebid) which was continuously rejected. I had been trying this for about 3 or 4 weeks. Finally, $100 was accepted for San Juan Resort - Intercontinental 1 night 10/22.

Yes, I got the Westin. Thanks for all your help & advice.

Bid $190 Resort, St. John 6/27/05 - 6/30/05, bid rejected Re-bid adding rebid zone. $200 Resort, St. John & St. Thomas 6/27/05 - 6/30/05, bid accepted. Just an interesting additional note as I was watching the Hotwire price for this hotel as well, I noticed that the price on Hotwire was $230 when I checked in the evening and it was $237 when I checked during the day. Makes me wonder if Priceline drops the accepted prices at night????? :) Thanks for all your help!

I didn't quite understand it all until now, thank you. I went in and re-bid adding St. Thomas to my bid. I bid $180 Resort and it was not accepted. I believe St. Thomas is the only other place in the re-bid zone. Unless you have any other suggestions, I'll have to wait 72 hours to rebid? My thought would be to bid St. John for $190 and then add St. Thomas for $200. Your thoughts?

No, I will not be using St. Thomas re-bidding. Thanks.

I'm looking for some bidding strategy for the only resort on St. John, USVI. I know from reading this is the Westin. Here's what I've bid so far... 5/13 bid $125 - Tried for the heck of it, rejected :) Waited 72 hours. 5/16 bid $175 - Rejected My next bid will not be until Thursday, do you suggest I go in $5 incraments or $10? Also, does anyone know about the $72 Airport Transfer program the hotel offers as well as the $20 resort fee? What's the difference? Does everyone pay the $20 fee even if you elect the $72 tranfer? I have never been to either St. Thomas or St. John so any advice on transportation from St. Thomas airport to the Westin on St. John is greatly appreciated.
