Travelling Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I'm sure I've read this somewhere on this site recently but I have just searched again and can't seem to find what I need.If I want to add a night to my Priceline stay, how do I go about it? Presumably I can only bid the same price I won the previous hotel for and hope that they accept the extra night. I looked on the Priceline site but couldn't see this either.I have won a 3 night stay in Berlin (using www.priceline.co.uk) and I will add this to the relevant section assuming you still want wins from this site (which are priced in Link to comment
WillTravel Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I don't think you can use the Priceline UK site to add a night - at least this feature wasn't supported the last time I used that site. So I think you are out of luck in this case.You can sometimes do so with Priceline US - if you had used it. In that case, go to the Priceline US help, enter Add a night in the search box, and it will tell you how. Link to comment
Travelling Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 WillTravel - thanks for your quick reply. That's perhaps why I couldn't find it when I searched the UK site for information.I don't definitely need to do it at this stage but if I do and I can't add a night I'd probably gamble and bid the same as I just have as there don't seem to be many different 4* hotels coming up on Priceline in Berlin.I just wanted to be a bit prepared when the time came.

loanshark Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Has anybody ever used Priceline's add a night feature to successfully get a free re-bid?For example, I originally bid for a 4 * hotel room in Paris for 6 nights. I was willing to stay in 3 areas, plus I had the Batignolles area as a free re-bid. After several rejections, I ran out of bids. I then decided to split the bid up, and eventually obtained a hotel for the last 5 out of the 6 nights of my original bid.I went back to Priceline's site to add a night for the 1st night, but was given a message that the winning hotel (Le Meridien Montparnasse) does not allow you to add a night. Therefore, I subsequently put in a bid at the same price as my winning bid for the first night, and received the same hotel. I am guessing that it is much harder to add a night with international properties versus U.S. locations.Anyway, due to the particulars of this win, I was thinking one could use the add a night strategy when they have run out of re-bids on most of their stays. Anyone have any luck with this strategy? Link to comment
TJewel Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I tried to add a nite to the 4* hotel I am going to be at in New Orleans in Oct. 2005. Priceline informed me that the hotel had no availability and the 72 hour rule doesn't apply to Pricelines add a night, it is a 1 time only shot. I don't want to rebid for this date because there is a strong chance that I would receive one of the other 4 hotels that is available. Link to comment
