Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding!

Glad to hear the board was helpful with your purchase and thank you for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board. It would be appreciated if you shared your win(s) with the board as you receive them so that the information can help others, just as you had been helped by those who posted before you.

Are you asking how PRICELINE and HOTWIRE can rate the same hotel differently? Each service has their own criteria for rating hotels; generally speaking HOTWIRE can be a little more generous with their star ratings, but as neither service uses a 1.5* in their rating system, the star rating difference between the two services really isn't that much, it's just "one level" different.

Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if/how we can be of further assistance.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

i want a 3 star in downtown my max bid 35 dollars i bid 25 can u help me

[AaronJB]

Unfortunately, $35 does not appear possible for these dates - my guess is that it will take at least $55-70 +/- for a 3* in the downtown for these dates.

im stuck on the rebid dont know what to do

[thereuare]

Are you bidding 1* and only the one zone? If so, you'll need to wait 24 hours between your bids.

no 1 and 2 star

[Romelle]

You can bid 2 star, and then lower your star level to 1 star and bid again within the same 24 hour session. However, you can't bid a lower star level first and then a higher one.

Probably best to wait the full 24 hours after the last thing you've done before you try to bid again. Most times, if you try something else and get rejected that 24 hour clock gets reset and you are locked out for that long.

By replying to your own posts in a very short period of time you can actually delay a reply.

But i'll bite...

Given that you have used the board before and never provided your win to the board in an effort to help others, there is no membership fee here and all the tools and features are provided free of charge, and your stay is nearly 2 months away... if 2 hours is an unreasonable of time to reply to receive a reply, what is reasonable?

[rabbitt83]

I used the PRICELINE link here to get my deal.
