Priceline Hotel: Resort Maui (Kaanapali-Lahaina) Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa

[adbynot]

Well after almost two weeks of daily bidding and trouble with Priceline denying my multiple daily requests by giving me a "duplicate bid error" I have finally booked two rooms from Feb 5th-14th, 2012 for $135/night.

Congrats on your success. :)

Persistence paid off nicely - good deal for this Hyatt property ("duplicate bid" would mean you've made that same bid within the last 24 hours.)

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

Iamneverlate,

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Please post a new thread if you would like assistance with your stay - rates do vary (often significantly) by dates/seasonally, and what may be the required winning bid for these dates are quite possibly different than what may be required for your dates.

Aaron,

I didn't try a bid for two days because of this error. Priceline's generic email response was to try changing zones, hotel *, or travel dates. My dates were set and I exhausted all available zones and star levels that I would prefer.

I followed this routine for 2 weeks before this was a problem but that is all behind me know because I was able to pickup this gem today.

I would like to say that I would have prefered the Marriott but I'll give this one a whirl........... :)

Hello,

Since I just booked that bid you could probably go ahead and just try $135 and see if that works, if it doesn't work I would try this strategy:

I used a permutation bidding system which allows you to increase you rebids everyday.

A normal 4 zone area which is your primary and 3 rebid zones would allow 3 free rebids, but the permutation bid would allow "7" free rebids.

It basically works like this:

X= Wailea or whatever you want your main zone to be.

A= Ka'anapalia-Lahinia

B= Kihei

C= Kahului

* note that Kihei and Ka'anapalia don't have 3 1/2* Upscale-Plus rooms so you won't be getting stuck there bidding this level or above.

First bid) New bid: X

Rebid #1) Rebid screen: X, add A

New bid: XB

Rebid #3) Rebid screen: XB, add A

New bid: XC

Rebid #5) Rebid screen: XC, add A

New bid: XBC

Rebid #7) Rebid screen: XBC, add A

If you are denied your first bid, you can rebid right away using rebid #1, if that is rejected close out Priceline and open it up again and start using Newbid XB and so on. You will be closing out Priceline after every rebid screen is rejected to obtain the full amount of rebid allowed per day.

I hope this helps out and good luck,

Anthony
