new counter offer option

Anyone ever seen something like this?

 

 

Bid was for 5* Leipzig hotel. The regular rate for the Marriott on Priceline is 109 USD for those dates. The two expired offers were already expired when the site showed up. I tried to book the Marriott but I was told that that offer has expired now, too.

I've never seen that before - did you get an email or did that pop up on the screen when you checked bid status?

It showed up right after submitting the bid. First you see the Shatner waiting screen and instead of a rejection or a win I got this. However I saw this now a few times but everytime I clicked on the Marriott it would tell me that this is now expired.

I just got something similar on Priceline. Instead of revealing the hotel for a lower price, I was given the option to rebid immediately after at a recommended price given by Priceline. So for instance, I bid $90...instead of being told to change location, star rating or dates, Priceline gave me a "one time opportunity" to bid $111

This has been around for a long time, see this thread for more information: Priceline Suggests Price to Pay.
