Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Baton Rouge (East) Amerisuites

[MichaelBei]

Bid $49, counterbid offer of $61; instead rebid at $52 and $55, REJECTED both times.

Go to another location, add another dead zone (there are 3 opportunties for 2.5 star risk free rebids), bid $55 again, ACCEPTED.

My Priceline Twilight zone experience continues. :) :)

Did not save too much on this property (can get for about $70, so this is really only a $10 per night savings), but I am quite happy with getting this property next to the Mall of Louisiana. I also wanted to find out if Priceline is still playing games with me, and indeed they are. One of the reasons I use Priceline less and less now.

Thank you for adding this property to our lists.

I'm curious to know exactly which zones you bid, in which order, and the timing of the bids, to get those strange results.

[MichaelBei]

Only the East Baton Rouge zone has 2.5* I forgot to say that I bid for 2.5 star only. The other 3 zones have no higher than 2 star.

The bidding order was

EBR

EBR + Sherwood F

EBR + Port Allen

EBR + SF + PA

This happens to me all of the time on Priceline. Apparently I am the only one that Priceline treats this way - that is, they often reject my bid even when they have availability at the price I name.

The timing between bids was a few minutes.
