Hi There.

Sorry for being a bit slow but i have read the posting on how to get Conrad Singapore for 73$ but I am confused with what I read on the second (successful) bidding line where it says : "+ Riverside 73$"?

I understand that by upping the bet to 73$ you got it but what is the trick about adding the riverside district to the search?? you could "risk" getting a riverside district hotel when what you wanted (and were bidding for) was a city hall - marina ay hotel...?

Thanks for any help.

Riverside doesn't offer 5star level, so it's what we call a "free rebid" (you don't risk getting a 5star there).

kimpy,

Re-bidding is explained in detail here: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained

Please start a NEW TOPIC for the dates of your own stay and we can help you with a bidding strategy there as well as answer any questions you may have (which is more effective than asking the same question as a reply to multiple threads)

Thanks.
