Prince_K Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Started at 3* $55 + ~$15 taxesSouthDowntown Offered $70Arboretum$50 - 2.5*$50 - 2*Accepted at Austin (Arboretum) Extended Stay AmericaI probably won't be booking thru BetterBidding until the Priceline/Hotwire widget on this site has a calendar function. I mistyped the month in the widget above, won my bidding, and had to go thru the priceline refund/rebid process. Fee is $25, but mostly it's just a hassle. A calendar would have prevented this from happening, as I would've seen that I wasn't booking a Saturday, but rather a Tuesday. Also, calendars default to the current month, which is what you want the majority of the time.
thereuare Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Sorry to hear you made an error in your bidding.PRICELINE's 'review your bid' before submission shows the full dates, including the month and days of the week you're bidding... so there are ample opportunities to check the details of the bid you're about to submit. As most of us have found, if you bid enough, eventually you'll make a mistake (as most of us have), and as per above, i'm not sure if a calendar feature would have prevented this one given the multiple checks that PRICELINE provides before you submit your bid.If you do need a calendar, just click the PRICELINE or HOTWIRE logo in either search box and you'll be take directly to PRICELINE's home page where you can use their pop-up calendar.Glad to see PRICELINE was willing to work with you on your mistake. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
