sojourn Report post Posted March 5, 2006 I must have missed the memo, but it now appears that Priceline only requires a 24 hours wait after the initial bid. Is this topic discussed on the board? Share this post Link to post
fshwilli Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Yes I too was wondering about this as I have been bidding the last 2 days and each time it says try again in 24 hours, which I have done. Thats such an impreovement than having to wait 72 hours! Share this post Link to post

BBtrips Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Can anyone find out if the terms for the wait have changed for car rentals??It used to be 7 days, when hotels were at 72 hours...I haven't been able to find either in PL's T&C....Thanks!! Share this post Link to post

MJRBIM Report post Posted March 16, 2006 I too think the new 24 HOUR lock-out is great. It will make my life so much easier....I would suggest that there are two possible reasons for the change...1.) A lot of DECLINED bids for rooms within 3-days of booking. People trying to use PL for last-minute bookings and failing. PL then forces that business (and those fees) to another vendor.2.) Trying to make themselves more competetive with HotWire and some of the other Vendors from an "ease of use" POV. If you can get a Hotwire room right now for $15 over your Declined PL bid, are you more likely to wait 72 hours to try again on PL - or spend the extra $15...? Share this post Link to post
