Priceline Hotel: 5* Amsterdam

[CaptainJ47]

Hello, this is my first post. I wanted to let you know that I have tried to bid on a 5* through priceline from 3/01/07 to 03/05/07 in the city centre. My first bid was $75 a night. That was rejected and I was offered $137 a night. I did decline that. I have waited a few days and then I rebid the same days and same area for $100 a night. That also got turned down. I may in fact keep raising my bid. I did see that there is a 4* for $119 a night on Hotwire. I just need a good location because this will be for someone's bachelor party. Just wanted to update the board.

Last summer I bid for a room - it was not accepted - and I was offered a "suggested bid"

The suggested bid was a bit higher than I wanted to spend.

Was one of those times - I didn't really care that day if I got it or not.

Long story short: I replied with another bid (lower than the suggested bid) and it was accepted !!!

I believe the price I paid was $70 and the suggested bid may have been as high as $90

Don't feel like you need to walk away if they offer you another chance with a suggested bid.

I was not bidding on anything in Europe.

Good luck

Good afternoon again,

I recently changed and bid two more times and wanted to update the board. From 3/1-3/5 I bid for $82 for a 4* and was declined without a counter. This bid was for the city centre. I then was able to rebid, via a link from an old email, on the same day for the same zone but this time for $88 a night for a 4* in city centre. It too was declined. I will keep the board updated when my hotel finally gets booked.
