Chase123 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I need some help. There are two zones I would be happy to stay in --Manchester/Vernon 3*Farmington 3*I would like to try Permutation bidding, but don't quite know how to do it with two zones. Any help would be appreciated !Thanks. Link to comment
Chase123 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Actually, I went as high as 62.00 and was not successful. I wanted to take advantage of the $7.00 bonus money opportunity -- I even added a few zones for consideration, Cromwell and Rocky Hill. Will try again tomorrow, would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Link to comment

Chase123 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 $55.00 Max before tax/feeZones I would stay in, 3* minimum: Avon, Farmington, Manchester/Vernon, Rocky Hill AreaI have bid successfully several times using the rebid process of choosing zones that have lower star ratings......I am a bit confused about how to bid using permutations. Sorry, I forgot to add available rebid zones:Hartford South, 2.5Meriden North, 2.5Middletown, 2New Britain, 2.5Newington, 2.5Southington, 2.5Also, should I wait until as late as possible on Friday? Or, do you think my chances would be the same no matter what time I bid on Friday? Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I would not wait another day and i would bid today so that if rejected you'll have another try tomorrow (assuming you don't need to check-in by then). As well, if successful at $55 or less i think there is very little downside risk for rates to drop much further within 24 hours.Using your SIX re-bid zones at the 3* level you can try bidding as follows:Select 3* Avon and Farmington and Manchester/Vernon...Bid $33, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $38, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Rocky Hill...Bid $33, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $38, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Avon and Farmington and Manchester/Vernon and Rocky Hill...Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $43, 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 rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $53, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Chase123 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Followed your directions to the "T" except on the last bid, I threw in $3.00 more and bid $58.00No luck.I'm going to use some loyalty points and book a room in Manchester/Vernon.One question, when you say close your browser -- can I just close the "Priceline Tab" on my browser, keeping Better Bidding open, or do I have to completely close the browser, re-open your site, and then find the PRICELINE link on BB. (I did the latter). Thanks again for your help.....I just can't go higher then $75.00, (including taxes and fees.) Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 When we state "close the browser..." you need to close the PRICELINE page/tab that shows the rejected bid. If you used either of the search boxes at the top of the page, or our BiddingHelper.com, all your bidding information is still in the search form and you can just re-click the 'GO' button to quickly re-load the bidding page.Thanks for closing this thread with your decision for this trip... enjoy your stay.
