castaways01 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Hi. Started search via BB link. Trying to reserve 2 rooms at Lowes (Lake Las Vegas) for my son. First bid was $75. Rejected. Added Boulder Strip (free zone) and bid $80. Rejected. Tried to add Condo N. Strip but PL wouldn't let me uncheck the 5 stars, so couldn't use this as a free zone. I don't see the 4* Golden Nugget on Priceline anymore, so wasn't sure if downtown is a free zone for this? Any other free zones? Strategy? I would rather no go any higher since $78 was a successful bid by someone else.Thanks.
thereuare Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Can you please follow-up your previous Hotwire Las Vegas and Priceline Las Vegas threads with whatever you ended up doing for each of those stays... then reply to this thread and we'll have a look at and comment on your post above.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding.

castaways01 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Posted March 11, 2011 Ok. Went back and completed threads. Thanks for the reminder.
thereuare Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 ...but PL wouldn't let me uncheck the 5 stars, so couldn't use this as a free zone.The star rating you select is the minimum you are willing to accept and PRICELINE always checks for higher rated hotels, which is why the higher 5* star rating is already selected (since PRICELINE also searched for 5* hotels when you placed your 4* bid)At the 4* level you have FOUR re-bid zones. HOWEVER, it appears that you may be using the hotel lists to determine your re-bid zones, which is NOT recommended. The correct way to determine your re-bid zones is explained in this Priceline Re-Bidding Explained thread, please take the time to read this thread and confirm your re-bid zones with the board. If you read the previous thread and are confused just post back and we'll break it down further for you.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

castaways01 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Posted March 11, 2011 This is a follow up to my previous post. Tried again on Priceline today and was able to get 2 rooms for 2 nights at $80. each for my son. First bid of $75 was turned down so I added Boulder as a free zone and upped bid to $80. It was accepted. I think this is a very good deal, considering the going price on various websites, including Lowes is $169 a night. Thank you for your help in clarifying the adding of zones to rebid. I accessed PRICELINE through the BB link .
