Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (Crystal City) Hyatt Regency

Very disturbing!!

Bid for crystal city $50 & $58 addding springfield. REJECTED

IMMEDIATELY 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.

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?

Not sure what the issue could have be... is it also the same computer that typically has the rejected bids?

Thanks for the post.

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?
