Priceline Hotel: 3* Ft. Lauderdale (West - Plantation) Crowne Plaza

[phillies fan 30]

Thanks to all those who take the time to post on this forum. I have gleaned much advice on this forum in recent weeks.

Bidding 3 star in Plantation area, hoping to get the Crowne Plaza the nights of January 8 + 9.

Bid $40 and was rejected

Added FLL Downtown and bid $45--Rejected

Added FLL Beach and raised bid to $51--Accepted

I'm sure I could have done better, but I'm still learning how to effectively bid on Priceline.

Thanks again to those who have posted bids.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thank you for sharing your information (as many others have)

I think you did good, and since you had the Plantation zone selected from the first bid you know that this hotel couldn't be had for less than $45.

When you added the other zones you risked getting hotels in those zones as well. However, effectively using re-bids you had two opprotunities to bid again without the risk of getting a different zone. You can learn more about re-bidding in this thread: TIPS FOR PRICELINE: Re-Bidding Explained

Didn't make a difference this time around and "all is well that ends well" :) , but knowing about how to re-bid may help you for future bids.

As well, feel free to ask for or confirm a bidding strategy before you bid... we're more than happy to help.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have about re-bidding or any other questions.

Thanks again for posting.
