Roadguy Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ive never really developed a good strategy for airfare rebids. Looking over the tips, I guess I can rebid for airfare by starting all over again and entering a city or minor airport in the area? Is that right? I have been counteroffered without a screen to rebid, so do I just start all over again?Thank You Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yes, you can re-bid by using different (nearby) starting locations in the search box.If you haven't seen it yet, there is a longer discussion about that here: Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Roadguy Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 followupI tried several times to bid for airfare for several different flights, and on a few occasions(like the first) I was countered WITHOUT an invitation to rebid. When I subsequently reentered to bid and was rejected I was NOT given another opportunity to accept the earlier counter offer. I was even rebid the counter a10 min later and was deniedOn a positive noteI once booked with the Priceline LISTED airfare for a flight and that afternoon that flight dropped by $100. Priceline gave me the LOWER price Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sometimes it pays to open a new browser and continue your bidding, then if that bidding fails, you can go back to the original browser and accept the counter-offer. The counter-offer page is time sensitive in the sense that you can't keep it open for days (or even hours) and then go back and use it... but if you open the new browser and try some more bids in a 'timely' manner and are rejected, you can go back to the still open browser with the counter-offer.Hope you're able to follow that and it's clear.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
