SEA Minivan Help - 6/27-7/10

[peacechik]

Currently holding a backup with Enterprise for $854 for this 13 day period for a minivan.

Alamo for this same period offers minivan for $1,014.

Hotwire rate is $48/day or $927 total

Bid $22 + 1.67 bonus money - Pop up suggested that $44 had a good chance of being accepted and $47 had a very good chance of being accepted.

Stuck to original bid and was rejected. Added large SUV which also seats 7 - bid $25 + $1.62 bonus money and was rejected.

Will try again one more time tomorrow. Would appreciate any advice on what I should bid.

Thank you.

A reminder that you can still use bonus money along with the board's link as follows (if you already have deposited the bonus money into your account you can start with step #4):

1) click the bonus money link and enter your email to deposit the bonus cash into your account

2) close the current browser

3) use a link on the board to access PRICELINE

4) go to the MY PROFILE >> MY REWARDS link at the top right of their home page

5) use the bonus money link in the MY REWARDS section of your profile (not a link from an email) and bid as usual

Please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links, then reply to this thread and we'll have a look at your rental above.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I used your links, tried again tonight - Bid $30 + bonus money, rejected and then added Full-size SUV and bid $35 + bonus money. No luck. Any thoughts? I could try again tonight and bid from June 27-July 9 and return the car a day early since it's kind of expensive to park a car in downtown Seattle for the last night. Could take the train with my family back to the airport.

We ended up using the backup reservation with Enterprise.
