Thanks for starting a new thread.

You do realise you canNOT bid for a specific hotel on Priceline?

(I've edited the title to reflect this)

Is this the only area where you want to bid?

What is you maximum bid ($100?)

Dates are April 3-6th and then 10-13, 17-20, 24- 27.

Hi Blindman,

I do of course understand that, Mt max bid would be aorund 90 - 120 and yes the dates you said are correct.

The reason I choose this title was because the marriot seems to be the only 4 star in that area.

To confirm... you have bid up to your maximum bid ($100) for each of your possible weekends?

I bid area St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse and then Batignolles - Montmartre - Republique aswell as the first one.

One thing I have noticed though. When it lists the 2-5 star hotels on the page before u want to bid it shows

Latin Quarter - St. Germain but when u click the 4 star its not listed in that section but when you click

Montparnasse its listed there. Im totally confused.

Any help what so ever would be great.

After your bid is rejected, you're being taken to Priceline's "Retail" product where there is no bidding and the names of the hotels are shown... this section of their website also uses different zones than the "name your own price" (or opaque section) of their website.

Once you're taken to the page you describe as 'where you click the 4 stars', look above the grid and you'll see a message in red letters (paraphrased): "We couldn't find a hotel willing to accept your bid, but found these offers below. If you'd like to try your bid again CLICK HERE". If you click where indicated you will be brought back to the "name your own price" section of Priceline.
