thereuare Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 At the 4* level you have THREE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Convention Center...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Downtown and Convention Center...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110Any questions feel free to ask.

lucidian Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 I bid up to $110 today... and i did not get any offer accepted.......any advice on how much more to go up?
thereuare Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 It appears the first 3 nites of your stay are much more expensive then the last 3 nites of your stay, is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lucidian Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 that's an option ... what is the best strategy?

Do note that if any of the above is successful, the (up to) 3 remaining nites will likely be more expensive for a 4* and/or you'll need to lower your star rating.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
