Memphis_Guy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Started by bidding for a 3* in St. Louis (South) at $33. Rejected.Changed my bid to $35 and added an area, St. Louis (Forest Park - Clayton), because it is one of the more expensive areas in town. My thinking was that a bid of $35 for a 3* hotel would never be accepted in Forest Park, so I'd still get a hotel in the area where I wanted to stay. WIN!Used the PRICELINE link from this forum.$35 bid, plus taxes, total $47.79Holiday Inn South County Center 3 StarSt. Louis South6921 South Lindbergh BlvdSaint Louis, Missouri 63125314-892-3600Check-In Date: Mon, Jun 28, 2010 / After 03:00 PMCheck-Out Date: Tue, Jun 29, 2010 / 11:00 AMAmenities: Remote control TV w/ premium channels Radio Alarm Clock Business services Telephone w/ voicemail Iron and ironing board Hairdryer 24 hour front desk On-site Dining
thereuare Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for... and at a great rate!We do hear some stories of users who are very 'surprised' that there bids have been accepted in an area where they thought the bid would be entirely too low to be accepted. At the 3* level you do have TWO 'true' re-bid zones, and these would be better to add than a 'pseudo' re-bid zone where you think there is no chance of the bid being accepted (unless of course you'd be happy winning in that zone for the amount bid) If you're not familiar with re-bidding see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask any questions you might have.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
