thereuare Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 When bidding 3* in the DC area you have ONE re-bid zones.

ndal2010 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 Ah ha, Mt Vernon is my rebid zone as the highest level available is a 2 star and I am bidding on 3 star and above. So even if I select the Mt Vernon area it is impossible for me to get a hotel in that area without selecting 2 star or below but still allows me to get multiple bids in on the areas I desire while not risking being somewhere I do not wish to stay.Mt Vernon is the rebid zone in my situation, correct?
thereuare Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Yes, you got it! :) (but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck!
