enwheel Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have been trying for 3 days now using various dates and combination areas to bid on a resort in Fort Myers hoping for either the Hyatt regency coconut point or the Hilton Marco island and am having no success in any of my bids. Both hotels are showing available. This is my first time using Priceline bidding so I'm unsure what to try next. ThanksSorry I should have said the dates are 11-17 feb for 1 room Link to comment

enwheel Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I Have tried 10-17 Feb highest bid $155 (they have what looks to be the Hyatt on their express deals at $188)11-17 Feb highest bid $165 (again Hyatt $195 on express deal)12-17 Feb highest bid $150 (Hyatt express deal at $176)The Hilton Marco Island is showing available for all above dates and rate is $239 Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 What would be your maximum bid for this stay?If you check PRICELINE EXPRESS and try the code PLAYOFFS does it take 10% off the rates above? Does this make the PRICELINE EXPRESS a better option then continuing to bid higher?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

enwheel Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I can probably only go another $5 per night. I guess it still won't be enough. Yes the coupon code works, thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 The $195 PRICELINE EXPRESS deal with an additional 10% off brings the cost down to about $175/nite, which is just a few dollars more than your rejected $165 bid, so you are at least very close.Let us know how the next round of bidding goes and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

enwheel Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 HiJust to updateI bid at $170 and then $175 and they still got rejected! So i used the code and got the Hyatt Regency Bonita Springs through PRICELINE EXPRESS deals for $195 per night minus the 10%, thank you for your help and for the code! Now to try for our first few nights in Tampa. Link to comment
