michael in toronto Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 have been trying to book hotel for Montreal for this coming weekend and have used various bidding strategies on PL to make multiple bids starting at 100 all the way up to 180 for a 4 star/3.5 star and have had no success over the course of the last week or soat the same time i set a bid alert and have been receiving emails from PL informing me of winning bids which are lower than the bids i have made - very frustrating!is this typical? or some kind of standard PL ploy? any suggestions for improving my chances for success are welcome Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!The alerts you're getting are for legitimate wins... but not for your specific dates (which makes them significantly less useful since rates are date specific).What are the actual dates of your trip?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Travelgirl22 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I had the same issue! Was trying to book Montreal for Canada Day weekend, signed up for alerts, bid up to $160 when I could see Priceline had availability, with no luck! I checked the e-mails closer and realized that they didn't list the dates. Grrr! Link to comment
