Priceline Hotel: Trumbull Milford?

[jenni5309]

I have been trying to get a good rate for hotels in Trumbull or Milford over the past few weeks with no success. Today I went on PRICELINE (through the link here of course) and it appears that they changed the zones. When I type in Bridgeport, CT I no longer see both Trumbull and Milford listed with it. Only Trumbull is there. Milford is now split up into it's own area. Does this typically mean the hotel list has also changed?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Assuming the zone boundaries have changed, and not just the zone names, then 'yes' the hotel list will need to be updated accordingly.

We'll try to put on the list to update this weekend.

Thank you! I will wait to see that before I try bidding again.

Are you looking for a hotel in Trumbull or Milford... or not sure?

I am hoping for Trumbull, Milford or Shelton. Anything other than Bridgeport. Trumbull, Milford and Shelton used to all be on the same map. That is no longer the case. I'm having a hard time getting a successful rebid because of Bridgeport being my only other option for Trumbull.

Any advice would be appreciated! And I plan to use the links provided. Thanks!

Anything other than Bridgeport.

So you should be able to bid the (Trumbull - Shelton) zones in the (Trumbull - Milford) region.

If you look at the New Haven region, are both the (Miford East-Orange) and (Stratford-Milford West) zones acceptable?

What are the date(s) of your stay? What is your desired star rating and maximum bid?

Thank you! Yes those zones are acceptable, too. We are trying to avoid Bridgeport. Our dates are 5/30 - 6/3, 3* and max is $75 per night.

Since the zones you're bidding on are in different regions, this won't be as ideal as if all zones are in the same region, but with time on your side this is how i would bid:

When bidding 3* in Trumbull there are no re-bid zones. When bidding 3* in Milford there are TWO 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 3* Milford East...

Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Super! Thank you! I tried it and was denied. Waiting for my 24 hour rebid. Since we have so much time until the trip I think I will keep trying until I get the exact pricing I want. This time I went up to $78 which is $3 more than I wanted. In 2009 I booked Trumbull 3* for $78 for the same time of the year so I know it's possible. Crossing my fingers.

I really appreciate all of your help. I will update!
