Priceline Hotel: 2* Brunswick Baymont Inn and Suites

Hi,

I waited 72 hours after I bidded on Tuesday. Tonight I started with 2* hotel, area Brunswick for April 3, 1 night. I started my first bid at $22. It was rejected. The second time, the 3* and 2* were greyed out leaving only 1*. How come I was not allowed to bid 3 times? What is the proper bid for a 2* in Brunswick, Ga?

Do you think I can find a 2 * hotel for about $33 on I-95 in or near Brunswick, Ga without booking in advance? I remember seeing hotels advertised on billboards at that rate while passing through Georgia on I-95.

Is there any coupon I can use with my bidding?

I checked with Hotwire, there is a 2* hotel for $32 in Brunswick, Ga.

Thank for your help.

Stan, glad you asked. Make sure you wait the full 72 hrs, clear the cache and cookies and try again. Follow my lead from previous posts & you will hit it right on the mark, if Spring Break does not interfere. Here's my latest post for Brunswick:

They have stayed there before and said it is rated as one of the best Ramadas going. Their Ramada Club membership worked before that got them a hot b'fast and cocktails in the evening."

In addition to BT's comments...

When you selected 2* Priceline was searching for hotels at 2* or higher. So when they ask you to change something so that you can bid again immediately, they don't let you select 3* since they view you having already searched for 3* hotels when you bid for 2*.

Hope that adds some additional insight.

Hi,

Last week, I tried to use my wife's name from the same computer as the person doing the bid. But PL knew and replied that I could not rebid until after 72 hours. Maybe I did not clear the cache or maybe the credit card info reflected my name since we are sharing the same credit cards. If I was not doing it right, please tell me what I need to do.

Anyway, I sent PL an email last night asking them when I can rebid again, and their reply was tonight after 9:30pm.

I will post my result tonight.

Thanks.

Stan, the second PL account must be totally different--a different credit card and email address. If you are like me, you have gobs of charge cards. When I first thought/told of this, sometime ago, I was curious about what would Priceline say. So I asked PL, and they came back with a reply encouraging this and indeed not having a problem with it. Bottomline, when a bid goes thru, PL make $$$!

It does help to clear the cache and cookies and rebooting. Are you using a dial-up connect or high speed broadband? :)

Hi,

I just started my first bid tonight at $24, it was rejected. For the next bidiing, PL requires me to increase my bid by +$6. Anything less, PL would not allow me to proceed. I thought one can increase the bid by any amount. If I increase the bid amount by +6, the total would be $30 + service fees and tax of abount $9. Any suggestion? I still have time until April 2.

I will be waiting to hear from someone.

Thanks.

Stan, I bet $25 would have done it like my previous post indicated! That is the lowest I have gotten a 2* hotel for in Brunswick recently.

Good Luck! Anyone else want to help out here?

Also, to clarify my point about multiple PL accounts. Every member of my family has a PL account. Each with a different charge card & email address.

Just read your additional comments on this thread and you might want to retry on your first charge card now since 72 hrs have past.

Hi Bturner13,

I did restart my bidding tonight. Please read my first post. I started at $24. PL wants me to increase by +$6. It won't take anything less than $30. Hoteire lists 2* at $35.

Regarding my wife credit card, it has both our names on it. Does it have to be her credit card only?

Thanks.
