Priceline Hotel: SOS! SoBe 4* 04/21-23

[ducee]

Dear Thereuare!

Thank you for this wonderful website!!!

I turn to you on the following matter.

Two of us would like to spend 2 nights in Miami SoBe(04/21-04/22), but being a rookie on Priceline I started bidding in the wrong way.

I would like to spend a maximum of 130 dollars including taxes, maybe a bit more. Started bidding with 80, but went straight for a SoBe 4* hotel...what a mistake ...I've already changed the amount for 105 and added Miami Beach 4* as the re-bid area.

Having been rejected for the 2nd time, I am totally clueless what to do.

We would love to stay in a better hotel like the Royal Palm, but it seems my price offerings have been sort of unrealistic. However, I considered that some bidders got that hotel for 106/night.

I have already read the post on re-bidding in general, but I am dumb enough to not being able to check the * level of other areas...hopeless:-)

Your help would be much appreciated!

Before doing anything else you need to understand re-bidding.

If you're confused, list below each zone within Miami and the highest star rating avaialble in each zone, following this technique in Priceline Re-Bidding Explained:

The way to check what star levels are available in each zone is to open a Priceline page, check ONLY the zone you are inquiring about, and then proceed to the next page (as if you were going to select a zone)... this will give you the available star ratings in that area. You can then hit BACK on your browser, uncheck the current box, check the next box, and repeat the process. It is important to do this before EACH attempt at adding a zone that you really don't want, as new hotels can be added and the star ratings can change at any time. (NOTE: for most users Priceline has updated their interface making the above process easier... simply check a zone and note the highest star rating available within each zone, UNcheck that zone and checkmark the next zone, repeating the process)

If the above is still confusing post back and we'll break it down even further.
