thereuare Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Congratulations on your success! Nicely done! Hope you're pleased with the results and this property works well for your plans.Regarding counter-offers, just like when you won (or are rejected) a page displays "Congratulations, we found a hotel..." (or "We're sorry, we couldn't find a hotel...")... the same type of page appears, but it states something to the effect: "We couldn't find a hotel to accept $xx, but if you're willing to raise your bid by $xx dollars you can try again right now".Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

rpinadk Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yes, very happy with the results. Thought I might get the Holiday Inn on Wolf Road but the Indigo is a much better property.Thanks for the reply on the counter-offers.Why do you think that I have never received one even though I have used Priceline many times.

thereuare Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I couldn't say why you haven't received any counter-offers during your previous PRICELINE use... they appear somewhat randomly, and perhaps some area are more prone to receiving them than others? (so if you mostly bid the same area perhaps this isn't a region that frequently provides counter-offers)Enjoy your upcoming stay.
