dangeorgia Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I bid $71 for a 4star in biloxi for Saturday night 4/9. It was rejected. I was using a $70 bonus reward cash from priceline. I see some people are getting the IP for around $50. Do you think the bonus cash is hurting my bid ?
AaronJB Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 My guess is a very busy night - the IP is a high $261 for these dates regular rate; there is no discounted rate on HOTWIRE at the 4* level, it's a regular rate listing from Hotels.com. All of the 4*/3.5*'s in Biloxi appear on the high side for these dates.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
dangeorgia Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for the reply. My rejection email from pricline only shows that I bid $1, the $70 bonus cash that is added to my $1 bid does not show.Is this normal for the bonus cash offer?
thereuare Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 The bonus money should be indicated on the bid that you submit.
