wst Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 First bid of $85 was rejected. Added the Tsim Sha Tsui zone (which has no 4* hotels), and rebid of $90 was accepted.Congratulations, you got your price of $90 for a four-star hotel room.Cosmopolitan HotelWest Hong Kong Island387- 397 Queens Road East Wan Chai, Hong Kong 852 35521111Check-In Date: Monday, October 30, 2006Check-In Time: After 12 PM Check-Out Date: Saturday, November 4, 2006Your Offer Price: $90Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 5Subtotal: $450.00Taxes andService Fees: $73.97 Total Charges: $523.97This was, by the way, the hotel that I was trying to get (it was recommended by a friend, who lives in Hong Kong).
thereuare Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Glad you got the hotel you were hoping for.Do note that the Tsim Sha Tsui does have 4* hotels so does not qualify as a re-bid zone.Enjoy your stay.

wst Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 Really? I guess I could be wrong (this is the first time I've tried Priceline), but when I clicked on Tsim Sha Tsui, only one hotel came up as an option (Stanford Hillview Hotel, which is only 3*).
thereuare Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Seems like you're using the 'retail' (ie- non-opaque) version of priceline to determine your re-bid zones which, as per the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ, is not recommended. The proper way to determine your re-bid zones is detailed in Priceline Re-Bidding Explained Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
