crq Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 This bid is a story of frustration and success. I had been looking at express deals about a week ago for this as a 4.5* at $114 and tried to click through, only to be told no inventory. I reported this to PRICELINE. Came back a week later, same issue, reported it again and the online chat people are not helpful. I've used express deals a lot recently for ease, but then I decided to bid to see if I could get this deal. I had already decoded it on better bidding, using the PRICELINE link to then book, as the JMW. There is only a 4.5* in one of the six zones so I knew I had 6 bids. It was now showing a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal that didn't work at $111. I opened my bidding at $100, to get a counter offer of $161. I added a zone, upped my bid by $5 and the won! Serves Priceline right, saving $6! Which is swallowed by the resort fee :-( Link to comment
