thereuare Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding and congratulations on your upcoming marriage.I wouldn't worry too much about being close as you're going to throw it in the back of a taxi and unload it at your new location. I'd recommend trying the MTE, MTW, and UM/CPS zones... please check the zones before bidding to make sure you can accept any 4* hotel in the zone.When bidding 4* you have 2 re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read RE-BIDDING EXPLAINED and ask any questions you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding.This is how i would proceed (be forwarned, it's long)...Select 4* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTW...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTW and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTE and MTW...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTE and MTW and re-bid zone2 and...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and...Bid $179, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Any questions feel free to ask.I have a few alternative suggestions if the above fails, so let us know how it goes.
