gee monee Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Can anyone tell me if they know of an area in Memphis I can add on my bidding search that is definitely not a 3.5*? I have bid up to $69 this morning and with the additional $5 promotion they are currently adding to your bid plus seeing past bid winners in Memphis for 3.5* I felt sure my bid would have been won. I need to rebid today so I can utilize the extra $5 they are adding until midnight tonight but of course need to change one of the catagories to do so. Anyone?Thanks!!!!!~Grant

gee monee Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Posted February 15, 2011 I am somewhat of a newbie, this is my third time to utilize the site to score a great room via PRICELINE bidding. This go around I am looking for a 3.5* in Memphis Tennessee and have raised my bid up to $75 with no luck and have seen several wins in this star rating for Memphis no higher than $69 with many less than $69 at $65. Any suggestions and can a dollar or two higher make a difference or is waiting a day or two to rebid a better idea? Thanks! ~G

Romelle Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I went through this with somebody else a while back. I'd guess you have already checked Memphis-Downtown when you start checking the other zones looking for a rebid? And are in the middle of your bidding?Try a fresh start (sign out and make a completely new entry into Priceline from the blue Priceline up above) - DON'T check Memphis-Downtown. Just check one of the other zones and see what happens. If it is a free rebid zone for a 3 1/2* bid, the little buttons of the zone levels will stay gray above 3*s and will only turn to white at 3* and lower. When you think you've figured out which of the other zones are free rebids, you can post them back here for somebody to double check. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with what you find.

gee monee Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 Utilized your PRICELINE link and started at $101 per night for a 4* in downtown Memphis and was rejected, then rebid $110 by manipulating and adding zones. Third time was a charm and secured a room for $112 at the 4 * Madison Hotel in downtown Memphis. Price Per Room, Per Night: $112.00 Subtotal: $224.00 Taxes & Fees: $45.98 Total Charges* $269.98
