Welcome to BetterBidding!

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

When bidding 3* in Toronto you have THREE 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.

Select 3* Markham...

Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $48, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $50

If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try once again starting with this PRICELINE link:

Select 3* Markham...

Bid $53, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

The link i PM'd you is fine to use... but you should reply to that message so we can troubleshoot why the links on the board are not working (it's usually one of 2-3 issues which we can help you resolve so that you can more easily use the links directly on the board in the future)

Thanks.

W1014 again, as for the re-bidding zone, I can see only another zone that has no 3 stars hotel that is Scarborough - Pickering. Do I miss anther zone? Can you tell me the 3 bidding zone when bidding 3*?

If you're read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and are still confused, try the following...

1) Use the PRICELINE search box on the upper right of this page, enter 'Toronto, Canada' and your dates, and click "GO".

2) List each zone that is offered in this region.

3) Next to each zone list the highest star rating offered in the zone. The way to determine the highest star rating offered in the zone is by selecting the first zone i the list, then scrolling down to see the highest star rating selectable (ie- not greyed out). NEXT UNcheck the selected zone, place a checkmark in the next zone, and repeat the process for each zone in the region. Each time you take note of the highest star rating in the zone, make sure that only ONE zone is selected above.

4) post your findings and we'll take it from there

If you don't follow the above just post back and we'll break it down further.

yes, I did read that link: "Priceline Re-Bidding Explained". But it seems what I could see on the page displayed has somewhat different. Here are:

1. when I try any link from this board intend to go to priceline.com, it brings up a "blank page" (I reported on my last message already".

2. You said you have sent me an alternate, originally I thought I've got it but re-check again that I don't think it is sent from you because I have received some promotion messages from priceline.com only but no message from betterbidding.com.

3. As instructed, I entered 'Toronto, Canada' and dates, and click "search". (the "go" is not work, it seems only for "recent seach"

4. I can see 3 tabs: list view, best deal, express deal, so I use "list view" and notice under this tab, it has 3 square windows from left to right : "hotel area", "Hotel Amenities" & "star rating" that I can click-in and bring up the pop-up for further selection. On "hotel area", I can see only 8 areas (including Toronto, on (all area)).

5. So I "Click" on each area and make a "check" on 3 stars on "star rating" windows. It then displays how many available hotels on that area. For "Markhma-Richmond Hill", it has 7 hotels. For "Scarbough-Pickering", it has 0 hotel. So I believe this is the "bidding zone" I can use because it has no 3 stars hotel. For other area (not zone as you said), they have 3 stars hotel so I don't I can use those area for "bidding zone".

Anyway, I wonder did I go to wrong site? because it seems I cannot see what you have said in your instruction.

Your help is much appreciated.

This is the link i sent and you should be using: PRICELINE special link (please use this link once you start bidding as well)

On that page scroll to the middle of the page where there is an area: " name your own price® - backed by our Big Deal Guarantee" and click the middle BID NOW (for hotels) button

In the form that appears enter Toronto and your dates and then the BID NOW! button on the form

If you followed all of the above, this should take you to the correct page where you can select/unselect the zones to see the star ratings.

Let us know if the above puts you on the right track.
