Priceline Hotel: 4* Atlanta (Buckhead) Grand Hyatt, >$85 (9/25/2005

[luzer]

hi

i tried bidding on a 4* in the buckhead, ATLANTA area on priceline, hoping to get the Grand Hyatt (#3 rated on tripadvisor)

i started bidding at $65 and upped to $85 in $5 increments, adding locations i know have no 4* (from the list).

i was rejected all 5 times...

this is for my wedding nite/week...

i dont know what to do!

DO NOT use the hotel lists to determine your re-bid zones!!!

Read the beginning of the PRICELINE HOTEL LIST warning against doing this!!

What are the actual dates of your stay?

[luzer]

the dates are 9/25 --> 9/28.

arent we supposed to use the list as a guide of what hotels are available? i thought that was the point...

From PRICELINE RE-BIDDING EXPLAINED:

The way to check what star levels are available in each zone is to open a Priceline page, check ONLY the zone you are inquiring about, and then proceed to the next page (as if you were going to select a zone)... this will give you the available star ratings in that area. You can then hit BACK on your browser, uncheck the current box, check the next box, and repeat the process. It is important to do this before EACH attempt at adding a zone that you really don't want, as new hotels can be added and the star ratings can change at any time.

See if you can figure out your re-bid zones and then we can take the next step of a recommended bidding strategy.
