iminindiana Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Hi,I was looking for a 5* hotel in Athens and wanted to know where I should bid and for how much. I saw peoples results from the past; my absolute max price would be $98. Any tips and plans for me?
thereuare Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 When bidding 5* in the Athens region you have no re-bid zones, but with time in your side i would:Select 5* Athens...Bid $80If the above is rejected increase your bid by $5 every 24 hours until you read your $98 maximum bid.Please remember to start your bids with the PRICELINE links on the board (and not the links in any emails PRICELINE may set informing you that you're eligible to bid again)Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

iminindiana Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Posted February 6, 2014 Just to clarify, if my bid of $80 is rejected, I can resubmit a bid 24 hrs later? I was under the misunderstanding that if you are rejected you can NOT bid again at all.
Romelle Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 Yes, you can bid again 24 hours later. You can use a higher rate, the same rate, or even a lower rate. Do make sure it is a full 24 hours though, because if you slip and bid a little early the 24-hour clock can sometimes get set all over again.When I've got lots of time, as you do for this one, I find it easier to just bid every other day. Then I don't have to keep track of that 24 hours.Romelle
iminindiana Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Posted February 12, 2014 Started at 68 (Saw some previous accepted bids in the $72 area) and kept going up, now at $85 and still rejected. Will keep on going.

Romelle Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Don't miss that SAVE 5% code in thereuare's signature!It will either let you raise that $98 absolute max to $103, or save $5 a night. Your choice.Romelle
iminindiana Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Posted February 14, 2014 I tried it and it said the coupon no longer works. Fail at $90 btw
Romelle Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry about the coupon not working any longer. I see it isn't in thereuare's signature now either. Must have been a short duration one. Do keep an eye on the area called Bonus Money Opportunities toward the beginning of this site. When people find the deals, they post there. Also, keep an eye on "My Rewards" in Priceline. Very randomly, PRICELINE will direct bonus money to people. It doesn't happen too often, but worth checking for.Romelle
