thereuare Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 We wouldn't want to suggest a strategy higher than you were willing to bid... what is your maximum bid for this stay?

Schultz64 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Sorry - I'd say $115 Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 At the 4* level you have three re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Ottawa...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone2...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone3...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100.I'd start with the aobve, which i suspect should likely be enough.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
