Travlin1 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 My bids for up to $70 for a 4* stay in either the Perimeter area or Buckhead area of Atlanta for 8/4 to 8/7 were rejected. (I used $2 to $5 increments in bidding.) Knowing that the 4 days included a weekend and a Monday and a Tuesday, and that Atlanta hotels are often empty on summer weekends, I split my bid, and, using the multiple available free rebid zones, secured a two-night weekend (8/4 and 8/5) stay at the Westin Perimeter for $60. Priceline asked if I wanted to request that my stay be extended at that rate by up to 2 days. Hopefully, I replied that I did, but then Priceline said the offer to extend was declined. I am still looking for a Monday-Tuesday stay, even though it will likely be at another hotel (hopefully in same general area). I have bid up to $80 for a 4* in Perimeter or Buckhead, without success. As it is just 30 days away, there may be more inventory later, so I will try again.P.S. Thanks for the permutation strategy described in earlier posts.P.P.S. I am posting this to provide more complete information concerning my earlier post on the subject. Link to comment
