wanderdad Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 I recently bid $100.00 per room for two rooms in London, Soho/Mayfair 5 star rating for my wife and 9&11 year old. I didn't think I'd get it but was offered a counter of $159.00. I turned it down but wanted to share the info and was wondering, should I have taken it and what hotel would it likely have been.
thereuare Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Welcome to BetterBidding!Here's some info on Counter-Offers: PRICELINE SUGGESTS PRICE TO PAYWe know of two 5* hotels in this zone (there could be others) but they are the Hilton Tralfagar and the Le Meridien Piccadilly.Also, are you familiar with RE-BIDDING?

wanderdad Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Posted April 28, 2004 Thanks so much for the reply. One other stupid question, is there any difference between rebidding and bidding from a different account (IE spouses bid) does priceline respond differently?
thereuare Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Yes there is a difference... re-bidding is adding a zone that only offers lower star quality than the one you are bidding. Having a spouse bid is simply having somebody else place the bid.RE-Bidding is probably the single best strategy among Priceline bidders 'in the know'.
