thereuare Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 At the 4* level you have one re-bid zone available. 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.I'd begin as follows:Select 4* ORD...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

icedancer Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Am I correct that my re-bid zone is Chicago-Midway?I'm just curious about the strategy...Is this based on a "Hotwire - $15" rule? I saw 4* with golf on Hotwire and assumed it was the Westin based on the descriptions in the Hotwire hotel list. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Never heard of the $15 HOTWIRE rule.Yes, Midway is currently your one re-bid zone. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
