When same day bidding this zone, at the 4* level you have eight re-bid zones, at the 3* level you only have one.

Assuming that price is more important than star quality, i would bid as follows:

Select 3* Dowtown...

Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $55.

If the above is rejected, i would suggest increasing your maximum bid to $65 and re-access priceline however you did previously...

Select 4* Downtown and re-bid zone2 (note: not the re-bid zones you used above)...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone1 (from above)...

Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone3 (any re-bid zone)...

Bid $65.

If you do the above corretly none of the bids will be duplicates, and it still leaves you the ability to try again should the above fail (although i think you great increase your chances if you extend up to $65/nite)

Any questions feel free to ask.

Hello,

I got the Courtyard (by marriott) for 58$.

I bidded 45, and then 55 with no luck at the 3* level. I then had a friend try again later on their account. I bidded 56 and got the 17$ counter offer. I added the rebid zone and bidded 58 and was successful.

Thanks for your help. (i used the savingsbarn thing)
