genechien Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 i'd prefer USE and USW...my max bid is $125 Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 You have threee re-bid zones in when bidding 4* in San Francisco. 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 4* USE...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USW...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE and USW... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125.If the above is rejected i would NOT simply add Fishermans Wharf at the end of your bidding as it can result in a an overbid, if the above fails and you want to add FW please post back and we'll advise accocrdingly.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
