Iluvadeal Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have been reading about rebidding techniques and I am less confused which is a good thing. I was wondering instead of adding a new zone when your original bid is rejected can you just select a lower star rating and bid outrageously low? For example:I want downtown philly 4* for $60 pn I bid $60, it's rejected. Instead of clicking on a new area like airport or something I just change it to a 3* and then bid $10. That of course is rejected then I go back to 4* with a higher increment say $70. In the past when my bids have been rejected I NEVER changed the area (zone).Thanks in advance for the insight.

blindman Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have been reading about rebidding techniques and I am less confused which is a good thingObviously you've not quite cracked it yet :) Your strategy will NOT work as you will have already bid for 4* in your first bid.Your next bid of 4* and 3* is a waste and the next bid wouldn't allow you to just pick 4*. (even if you close the browser and start again)In your example Philly has 6 FREE Rebid zones which should be more than enough to get you a 4* if there's inventory. Link to comment
Iluvadeal Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I guess I didn't crack it yet, but I have never changed the zone that I want to stay in, i just change my dollar offer. I have never opened a new browser. Link to comment
dahammer Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 have you read the following post: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained This would let you take advantage of all the rebidding zones in Philly so that you won't have to wait 24 hours to rebid. Link to comment
