thesqueegeekid Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 I got this for some friends coing into town for a wedding...They had a room reserved at the JW Marriott for $250/night ... so, they were very happy to get this.This was the cheapest resort on PL Vacations ... and the estimated price should have been around $60 or less. I bid this zone for a 4*/resort up to $85 and kept failing???I than, focused on the Wyndham Buttes in Tempe ... $60, $65, $70 ... than, I added Scottsdale at $75 and ended up winning this? This was just minutes after getting rejected at $85???Maybe, PL is not upgrading from 4* to a resort anymore ... even though, it greyed out both 4* and resort???Scottsdale7200 North Scottsdale Road Scottsdale, Arizona 85253 480-948-5000 Your Offer Price: $75.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $150.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $27.68 Total Charges: $177.68
thereuare Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Easiest explanation would be that inventory changed while you were bidding, although that seems very unlikely with a stay so far in advance. We'll have to keep our eyes/ears open to other similar experiences to see if there are any 'upgrade' issues at work. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
thesqueegeekid Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Posted March 12, 2005 Priceline Winning BidThe above is another example of a 4* star bid not being upgraded to a resort even though the price was right?
