texaslonghornfan Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 I have a question when bidding for a resort on Priceline. If you select the 'Resort' category and you don't get your first bid, are you able to downgrade to a 4 or 3* category? In other words will any category of hotel quality be blacked out (i.e. if you bid initially on a 3* you cant choose a 4* on your next try)?
thereuare Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Yes, you can go from Resort to 4* (and then subsequently to 3*)... but not up to 5*.However, when bidding resort there are likely to be re-bid zones available so that you don't need to lower your quality right away if your original zone is your prefered area.

texaslonghornfan Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 Gotcha. So my free rebid zones would be any zone that doesnt have a resort in it, correct?
thereuare Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 ... or 5* properties.If you'd like, post the area you'll be bidding and which zones you think are your re-bid zones... we'll then confirm it for you (and this should help minimize and mistakes). You can also add the strategy you intend on using (or ask us for a recommended strategy).If you didn't see it, or for anyone else following along, re-bidding is discussed in detail here: PRICELINE RE-BIDDING.

texaslonghornfan Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 Thanks! I'm planning on bidding this Fri morning so will post what I want to do ahead of time.
