mbstone Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 At least for me, PL has all but stopped working. PL is rejecting tons of my bids in areas and in ranges that it should be accepting. Right now I am staying in the Oakland Airport zone where I don't want to be, but PL rejected all my SF bids up to $91 and down to 3*. The same thing is happening in SoCal. PL had put me in every Orange County property, one at a time, and now all my OC bids are rejected in ranges that other people are getting (up to 52 and down to 2.5* in Anaheim N, Anaheim S, and Buena Park). Something is really screwy. Did I do something to tick off PL, and if so how do I fix it.Update: PL put me in Irvine in a ding-$15-for-parking property. 3* $51 should have gotten me any number of properties in South Anaheim or Buena Park that don't charge for &^% parking.I want to stay in SF and Anaheim, not Oakland and Irvine. And I don't have all day to look at screen after screen of rejections. Link to comment
Gallus50 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wow. Um, maybe you should check on HW and see what the prices look like there. You could also check Travelocity's secret hotels and Expedia's to see if it's PL or if rates are just higher, even or opaque sites. You should also check rack rates. On the bright side, looks like the economy must be picking up! Link to comment
Colfax Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was in SF the same days as you, 6/14-6/16, mbstone. Priceline wasn't broken, just expensive. Those were busy dates--there have been a lot of them in SF lately--and probably you weren't bidding high enough at $91.I ended up paying $88 on Hotwire for a 3* in Civic Center South; high for that zone. iirc, the Hotwire 4* were all $200+.PL rates are up from a year ago in a number of places and it does make PL feel a little "broken" when you're used to getting something for $50's and suddenly it's $80's.
