MichaelBei Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Very disturbing!!Bid for crystal city $50 & $58 addding springfield. REJECTEDIMMEDIATELY Went to another computer, added Dupont circle, Bid $55. ACCEPTED in crystal city. :) :) This is abouT the 20th time this has happened to me in the last year by strong suspicion, and at least 6 or 8 times now with IMMEDIATELY REBIDING - a lower bid was accepted after a higher one was rejected.I have no clue what is going on, but it is very, very, very disturbing.Glad I got a room though.
WillTravel Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 There's some possibility that Priceline didn't like the credit card you used the first time, for some possibly unknown reason. When was the last time you had a successful bid with it?
thereuare Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Not sure what the issue could have be... is it also the same computer that typically has the rejected bids?Thanks for the post.

MichaelBei Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 Hi folks:Well, this was my second oldest credit card that has some bidding history for a few years (and many winning bids, but a few highly questionable rejections recently; the oldest card seems to have been the main problem before. Perhaps Priceline has a quota for me because I am too cheap and don't like to pay too much over the minimum winning bid?? :) :) Maybe I need to get one time use credit card numbers like Priceline has?It's maddening though - I end up having to pay more, and more importantly, waste a lot of time when Priceline pulls this kind of stuff on me. BTW, surely I can't be the only person in the US this has happened to?
