zbenye Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 Tried 3* for $41 - rejected. Added 2.5* and upped to $49.Was hoping for the Hyatt Regency.
KathyWdrf Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 Why ON EARTH didn't you use the "free rebid" zones for three-star hotels for Philadelphia??? :) There are currently three Philly zones that have NO hotels of three or four stars: Deptford-Runnemede, Trevose-Bensalem, and Veterans Stadium. (This is easily ascertained on the Priceline website by clicking the box next to ONE zone and then clicking "next" to see a display of the star levels available for that zone; then using the Back button and repeating the process for each individual zone.)You could have bid for three stars a total of four times, starting in the zone you want, then making small bid increments and adding one of the "free rebid" zones each time. This strategy helps save money!EDIT by 'thereuare': an excellent explanation of how to determine re-bid zones, but if you're bidding this area, make certain that the zones listed above are still indeed re-bid zones, as they do change when hotels are added/removed. There is more info about re-bidding here: Bidding Again Before 72 hours
zbenye Posted June 1, 2003 Author Report Posted June 1, 2003 Yes, I know. Plus I have plenty of time to wait out 72-hour lockouts. It was just one of those days when Bidding Withdrawal Syndrome (no PL bidding in a few days) gets the best of you...
zbenye Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Posted June 6, 2003 For my night (6/21), this hotel is now showing "NO AVAILABILITY" on both the Sheraton website and Expedia.Do I need to worry that I'm going to be walked?The Hyatt Regency too has no availability, so looks like a busy night in Philly.
