thereuare Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Do you have a maximum bid in mind?You can book the Holiday Inn Cocoa Beach for $81/nite for this date and i would at the very least book that as a back-up (it's cancellable up until 3 days before your check-in date), unless you have any better options?PS - do you own a Saab and/or enthusiast? what year?

saab Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 hi,well i already have booked anthonys on the beach for 75 dollars. so my max would be 70 +tax.nope i am not in anyway related to saab. My full name is sanam sabharwal hence short SAAB. :) I can also bid for 2 and a half but this anthonys is on the beach. i dont know how many 2.5 star rated are on the beach...have a nice day !!! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Cocoa Beach does not offer 2.5* bidding.At the 3* level you have two re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* Cocoa Beach...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $60, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Cocoa Beach and re-bid zone2...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
