dixiepig Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Looking for Priceline bidding advice. I bid $39 for two 3* hotel rooms for 1/12/2012 (Thursday night). Was denied and invited to immediately re-bid $49. I decided to add hotel class of 3.5* and increase my bid to $45 (yes, it's a game). Was not allowed to submit the bid, which surprised me. Now I'm wondering: what area can I add that doesn't have a 3* or 3.5* hotel so I can re-bid again? Your hotel list says Coons Rapid or Burnsville should be ok (only up to 2.5*) but you also say I can't rely on your list--where can I get a better idea? Thanks. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)The list of hotels on the board only provides the hotels that have been reported to the board. There may be other hotels at specific star ratings and there may be star ratings available in a particular area where no hotels have *yet* been reported to the board. The area/star rating selection screen during the bidding process is what should be used to determine what star ratings are available in each zone (as star ratings that are not available in a particular zone cannot be selected.) Please let us know if you have any questions and if you want us to confirm re-bid zones.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 To determine your re-bid zones, please see this thread: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained (and if you're new to the subject matter it's highly recommended that you confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding)If you read the thread above and are confused just post back and we'll break it down further for you.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

dixiepig Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for the refresher. I'm a dolt, I should have remembered because I've use that all the time. Again, thanks and sorry! Link to comment
dixiepig Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks, I went back in and re-bid for 3* at $46 and received immediately. Used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link, thanks! Link to comment
