whplanet Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Used the PRICELINE link:Started bidding at $50 and incremented to $75 until running out of free re-bids.I've read recent wins for $60-70 ($85 for Labor Day), so that's why I started out so low.I will re-evaluate my dates or maybe try again tomorrow where I left off.

whplanet Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Sorry for forgetting the star level. I was bidding 4*. Can you change the thread title to reflect this?Rittenhouse and Historic are also acceptable. It's just that I saw people winning the Marriott Downtown for $60-70, so went for that. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 At current rates I still think your $75 bid won't be enough even with these other zones included, but to give it a try:When bidding 4* in Philadelphia you have SIX 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.(i went as high as $85 but you can stop at whatever level you'd like)Select 4* Rittenhouse and Historic District...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Convention Center...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Rittenhouse and Historic District and Convention Center...Bid $76, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $82, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $84, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
