zebra Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I saw that this hotel was awarded frequently by Priceline, so I checked the online price. The online price was $99, so I decided to start at half that and then used the many free rebid zones to bid it up to $65.

zebra Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 My last rejected bid was $60 as I was going up in increments of $5. There were 3 free rebid zones for a 4* in San Jose (giving 8 total attempts), therefore I knew I had a lot of tries. And then if it were not accepted by then, I'd be better off booking the room online. Hope this helps. Link to comment
