Priceline Hotel: 3* Montreal (Downtown) Holiday Inn Select

[BEAV]

This is the Holiday Inn Select - Centreville @ 99 Viger Ave And St Urbain St.

Initial bid of USD $63 produced counteroffer to add $17.

With no free rebids for 3 star category, started a completely new bid at USD $68, checking both 4 and 3 stars. Accepted. Earlier attempts at 4 star were rejected @ $100.

TripAdvisor reviews are marginal, however we'll be arriving late and only need a place to crash for one night.

Sounds like it'll fit the bill.

Thanks for the post and enjoy your stay.

When I tried a new bid, the 4 star is already greyed out from the 3 star bid. Only way was to change dates or add zones. How did you get another bid to go through?

[BEAV]

I don't see how any zone could be greyed out if was an entirely new bid, completely independant of any previous bid.

Hopefully someone else can jump in and solve the mystery.... :)

"Greyed out" was not the correct wording. The new bid with 4* comes back rejected based on the itineray already been tried.

I don't understand :)

[travellingtom]

If rejected for a 3* bid, with no re-bid zones, starting a new bid with 4* still gets treated as a duplicate bid within the 72 hour period. So I don't see how BEAV "started a new bid checking 3 &4 star", unless the dates were changed or more zones addded, or signed in as a different person. But if you still don't understand, then never mind. Thanks anyway.

I might be able to clear some confusion....

Are you thinking my comment about "earlier attempts at 4 star were rejected @ $100" would have made it impossible to include 4 stars in my successfull bid? If so, I should have stated my "earlier" attempts at 4 star were more than 72 hours prior to my successfull bid that included 4 stars. So since I was under no 72 hr lockout at the time of my successfull bid, I was free to use 4 stars in my bidding.

Hope that helps!

Yes, that clears it up. Thank you for explaining.
