Priceline Hotel: Resort Puerto Vallarta Sheraton

[annak]

We are rerouting our trip from Playa del Carmen to Puerta Vallarta. Priceline was offering the Marriott for $109. Sheraton for $159. I based my first bid at 60% of their rate for the Marriott.

Started bidding at $66, rejected. Priceline said if I bid $17 more I could bid right away without changing anything. I bid $83, which was accepted.

I was hoping to get the Marriott, but now I think I'll like the location of the Sheraton better since it's closer to Puerta Vallarta's down town area.

For future reference Priceline almost always accepts less than their counter offer.

I see that there were not any free rebid zones, so you would have needed to wait 72hrs to try and undercut the counter offer
