yueqing Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 I am a newbie on priceline and need bidding helps for Pigeon Forge area. Checking in on 7/13, staying for two nights. Any suggestions for a good starting bidding price? Thanks!!

yueqing Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Posted July 6, 2005 I am looking for 2* and above. No, I don't have a backup reservation.
thereuare Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 The Sunspree can be booked direct (please use the previous link if you do) for $71/nite. Based upon this timely GATLINBURG post, i think a $50 would be rejected. I would try a $56 bid which if successful would still end up saving your $10/nite (or 15%) after Priceline's fee is included... if you are 'points saver' and that is not enough savings for you then i would try a lower bid amount (which would make priceline worth it) or just book direct.Let us know what you decide and/or how it goes.

yueqing Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 1st bid on pigeon forge, $48 (the price that makes the 'small chance' message disppear) for 2.5* and above, rejected.Priceline came back to ask me to up the price to $64. I said no because I want to try the free bid.2nd bid on pigeon forge and gatlinburg (there is no 2.5* in gatlinburg), $55 for 2.5* +, rejected.3rd bid on piegon forge and gatlinburg, $57 for 2* (I am saying to myself - thats it...or I will go directly to Hotwire). Accepted!! It's Ramada Limited-Music Road Area2193 North Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37868, USI am not really happy with Ramada as I had a bad experience with a Ramada before at Hollywood, California. Hopefully this time it will pan out OK.
