wanderdad Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share 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 Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share 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'.
