Sopamanda Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Okay, newbie here.I'll need two nights, preferably June 17, 18th, check out 19th. Could do 16,17, c.o. 18th. I'd like 4*, but could do 3 if need be. I bid yesterday Magic mile $65, rejected; bid 70 and added midway, rejected. Not the end of the world but perhaps someone could help me? I'd probably pay up to $90 but don't want to unless I have to (parking seems to be expensive too).Great site and thanks for any help or redirection!Advice?

Sopamanda Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 Easily could do loop; plan to park (suggestions??) and walk/transit. Will use links-Thanks so much!
thereuare Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Using your one re-bid zone at the 4* level, i'd proceed as follows:Select 4* NMA...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Loop...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* NMA and Loop...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75I don't see too much differece between the two sets of dates, bud i'd try the above first for 6/17-6/19, if that is rejected i would try again for 6/16-6/18.If both are rejected just let us know and we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.Any questions feel free to let us know how it goes.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Sopamanda Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 No go; used links provided. Further advice, please???There seems to be some kind of medical convention, am I up the creek?I could try again with husband's info. ??Thank you!Amanda
thereuare Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Since last night there is a new available zone in Chicago which you can use as another re-bid zone (so there are actually two re-bid zones now). See Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your new re-bid zone (we'll refer to the re-bid zone you used above as re-bid zone1 and the new one as re-bid zone2). Proceed as follows:Select 4* NMA and re-bid zone2...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Loop and re-bid zone2...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* NMA and Loop and re-bid zone2...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $95 (assuming you get this far and want to give it another $5 try)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions regarding the above.

Sopamanda Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 Changed dates:6/16-6/18 (2 nights) Loop and bid free zone (mistake, should have done it by itself, but I'm tired of this!) at $65. Rejected. Asked me to up bid by $17.Added another bid free zone at $70. Accepted at Hyatt regency.Thanks from a budget-consious mom of a toddler who desperately needed time with her husband and without a pokey toddler for 2 days! Now to figure out parking!(Did bid through PRICELINE link)Amanda
AaronJB Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Thank you for bidding through the PRICELINE link and reporting your win.Parking is about $50 at the Hyatt; you can park for half that at the Millennium Park lot just to the South.
