Priceline Hotel: Warning Zones/Numbers Changed for CA-Central Los Angeles Zones

[Sota327]

For those of you who have been accustomed to bidding based on zone numbers as opposed to zone names, beware that the zones for Central Los Angeles appear to have recently changed.

I've been bidding (unsuccessfully so far) for an upcoming stay and I have a cheat sheet that I use to keep track of my bids and on which I write down my rebid zones simply by number, make a graph and come back each day to record that day's bids. I used to have USC as zone #10 (and a rebid for both 4* and 3.5* properties). When I went to bid today, I realized that USC is now Zone 11. Zone 10 is now Santa Monica/Marina Del Ray (and includes both 3.5 and 4* properties, so not a free rebid zone for Hollywood, for example). Had I not double checked the zones/#s and just bid blidngly off my cheat sheet, I would have mis-bid.

Just a word to the wise to double check zones as the numbers and properties within each zone can change at any time.
