bfranci Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Hi guys,I found a post with a detailed re-bid strategy from a few weeks ago that seemed to match my price range and area. Here's a subset of it:Priceline NYCA) Select 3* CPS, Chelsea, DT, ESB, HK...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE:) Select 3* MSG, MTE, MTW TS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINEC) Select 3* MSG, Chelsea, DT, ESB, HK...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINED) Select 3* CPS, MTE, MTW TS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINEWith the exception of the prices, I kept everything the same. A and B were no issue, although I didn't get the requested price. When I tried C I got the error page indicating a duplicate request. I had indeed closed my browser and used the same link to reconnect. The only thing I can think I may have done wrong was sign in with my Priceline account. Is that a no no?

bfranci Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Posted October 21, 2010 Please post a conclusion to your previous New York topic and then bump this thread and we will take a look at this.The URL I posted above was actually someone else's trip request, I just used it for reference. Using your links, I did finally get a $115 room at the Holiday Inn Wall Street for 10/29 - 10/31, so thanks!My issue with the template instructions provided is the instruction to "add a rebid zone". That's vague to me, even after reading the instructions. I was interpreting that to mean add a lower star level, but I think it means to add a new geographic location(s). So I guess my question is, for my next time using this site, if I see the following:Select 3* CPS, Chelsea, DT, ESB, HK...**Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...**Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MSG, MTE, MTW TS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINEWhat would be the steps to take in the asterisked sections? Do I add MSG as a location? Do I add MSG, MTE, MTW, TS? Or something else?Thanks for your help.
