Hornet Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I need help with a rebid. I thought I understood the process but do not. I bid $105 and was rejected. I am supposed to add re-bid zone and offer $110. How do I do this? Do I need to hit the back key on my browser? Link to comment

Hornet Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've read it several times. Which is the free rebid zone with no 4* hotels? Upper East Side and Upper West Side? Link to comment

Hornet Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Used two rebids past $150 to $160 (my last possible bid at 4 stars). Got the Swissotel. Thanks for the help. I totally understand the process and will use it to my advantage from now on when using priceline. Link to comment
