thesqueegeekid Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share 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 Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share 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.

thesqueegeekid Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share 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? Link to comment
