drjohnnycanuck Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Started bidding at 60, then using multiple zones bid65, 70,75,77,79,81,83,85,88,90, and got it at 93Interestingly, at 90, it offered me a chance to increase by $25, and then bid again without adding zones. I ignored that, added a (dummy) zone and got it at 93. I presume this is a common ploy by PRICELINE, since I just bid on another place, and the same thing happened on my final unsuccessful bid before I got the hotel...
