Priceline Hotel: Priceline Bonus Cash

[volntitan]

So I set an email alert for Charleston, SC letting me know when a room in the Historic District gets to $80 for 4 star. I get an alert saying that someone got a room for that price. So go to Priceline and start to bid with my $30 ($10 day for 3 days) reward "cash". It says it is using the "cash", but when I get an email turning me down for my bid, the price that says was turned down was my bid minus the addition $10 of bonus cash. Am I doing something wrong? I went up to $90 ($100 with cash) and still no luck. Also, does it behoove me to keep trying after the 24 hours with the same budget limit? Didn't know if the closer it go to my dates, the better chance my bid will be accepted.
