breezesunshine Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I am trying to bid for a rental car out of Orlando in November. I submitted the first bid on 9/16 at 1:00am. It was not accepted. I was told to either change criteria (I didn't), or wait for 7 days to try again. I bid again using the same itinerary on 9/22. Priceline said it was a duplicate request since the original request was within 7 days.I then tried again just now (9/23 11:20am) using the same itinerary, 7 days since I bid for the first time. I got the same message "duplicate request and wait for 7 days".That leads me to believe that every time I bid for the same itinerary, I reset the clock to start counting for 7 days again. Is this true? I feel it does not make sense logically. But I want to know how priceline works.Thanks! Link to comment
Blueskies Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 That is my understanding too. So be very careful not to lock yourself out for even longer. Frustrating, isn't it! Link to comment
breezesunshine Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I called priceline to ask this same question and yes, indeed I reset the clock each time I rebid with the same itinerary. :)Thanks for the reply, bluesky! Link to comment
