rcr70 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 i was trying to get a 4* in the SeaWorld - International Drive - Convention Center zone. i wanted rosen shingle creek - that's where my meeting is - bid up to 79 over the last two days. in a moment of stupidity, i upped it to $89 and added Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney as a free rebid as I saw only 3.5* in this zone. i got this hotel - i was surprised and went back to the priceline site only to notice that they have resorts after 1* !!!used the PRICELINE link on this website for the initial bid but forgot for the winning bid - two mistakes in one day !!!
AaronJB Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Congrats on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding. Definitely not a bad deal for this resort property (resort is higher on the priceline hierarchy than 4*, so you were upgraded.)Hopefully the hotel will still work out well for your travel plans.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
rcr70 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Posted May 11, 2012 thank you.it is a good price for that property - unfortunately i am stuck with a room out of the way because of my mistake, I assumed (wrong) that 3.5 star was the highest level in that zone - had i scrolled down below 1* and noticed that they have resorts in that zone, i wouldn't have added that zone - lesson for the future - do not bid when tired and not focussed on what you are doing :) i still think the right place for resorts is above 5* (or 4*) and not below 1*
