ghostwriter Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I was really happy with this one.40 $ was the first bid on priceline - and it was accepted.Radisson Miami DowntownYour Offer: $40.00 Subtotal: $40.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $12.64 Total Charges*: $52.64 Then I realised that I mixed up the dates :) Instead of 09/16 - 09/17 I wanted to stay the same dates in october :) Well... at least it was only for one night and a low bid.Now I'm going to try again and will start even lower...

thereuare Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Thank you for sharing your results with the board... sorry to hear you entered the wrong dates :)Sometimes Priceline does have a heart and will cancel a reservation if you selected the wrong dates. If you haven't bid again yet i would contact them before bidding again, if you have already bid again (and won) i would include your 'new' winning bid confirmation number to show that it was indeed a mistake and that you have since purchased the correct date. Sometimes the cancellations comes with a $25 cancellation fee, so although that is the majority of your $40 bid, you'll also get back taxes and fees, so still may be worthwhile if you have no use for the room above on this date.If you do pursue it please let us know how it goes.Good Luck with the bidding for the October stay.

thereuare Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 If you need help with the 'new' dates please start a NEW TOPIC as the win above may still help others who are looking for stays in the next few weeks.Thanks.

ghostwriter Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Priceline didn't accept the cancelation and I didn't get back any money.Well... at least it was only a 40 $ bid. Link to comment
