blindman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Went with priceline - will post bid there as wellDon't, the topic title has been altered and the thread moved accordingly.Have a good stay. Link to comment
goheelslhd Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 3 star WDW area $42 (starting at $39 and going up $1 each time with free rebids)flatly denied with no counter at $41 and added rebid and only went up $1 and acceptedProperty can be booked through their site for an average of $63 a night during the dates of my stay ($59 weekday, $69 fri/sat). Seems to be the 3star of choice for Priceline during this time frame (a number of winners in the $40 range)Holiday Inn Main Gate East01/17/08-01/22/08This is a rebranded Travelodge which has an upgraded star level because of refirbishment. The rooms look nice on their site and since this is a recent refirb, hope they are fairly accurate. I will post a review upon our return.No onsite Diney value lodging (Pop/All Stars), or Port Orleans, nor very good deals on Resorts during this stay (spending $25+ a day extra on resort fees is not in the cards for this trip).

baldtomato Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 ummm, interesting. $42 seems to be on the low-priced end for this zone. Congrats on winning this bid!So I guess there doesn't always have to be a counteroffer before an offer is accepted? In the past, i've always gone by the rough 1/3-2/3 rule ... ie if counter-offered $12, I will go up by $4 or $5 and see, but occasionally won't get accepted until I go all the way to 2/3 of the counterbid (e.g. adding $8 or $9 to the counterbid). I've never been accepted straight out after being flatly denied. Link to comment
