Priceline Hotel: Need help

[Hsalinas3]

:)

Any suggestions for trying to get the same Hyatt Regency deal in Austin everyone else seems to be getting? I was offered the chance to rebid. Ive tried 60 through 85 dollars and started with downtown, *4 then added south airport, southwest, and lake travis. No luck.

Any suggestions? I bid for *4, downtown, started at 60, like so may have posted getting. Rejected asked to change things and rebid, did so various times, adding, south, lake travis, southwest. Also increased each $ time and got as high as 88 with no luck. Help! This is for 08/01/08 through 08/03/08.

Were you given a counter-offer giving you the chance to bid again by increasing your bid by $xx amount or did you receive an email that it's been 24 hours since your last bid and you're eligible to try again?

What is your maximum bid for this stay?

Maximum so far was $85. I was not given the opportunity to counter offer. I have not received an email yet inviting me to rebid because it has been at least 24 hours and I think it has been more than 24 hours already. I checked my spam folder also. Any other ideas?

Rates don't appear too high for your dates, but the ultra-low rate others have received doesn't seem to be available for your dates.

How high are you willing to bid?

HOTWIRE has a 3.5* in the Downtown-Town Lake zone (Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access, Tennis Nearby) for $65/nite for which our best guess is the Hilton Garden Inn) or a 4* (Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business) for $109 for which our best guess would be the Hyatt.

You can either go wiht one of the above or increase your bid a little and continue to try for the Hyatt via PRICELINE.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Interestingly enough my 4* in Downtown /Townlake, which I gathered was the Hyatt is showing $199. The 3.5 * in the downtown/townlake area, Hilton Garden Inn (tennis) is $94.

I actually got these rates by clicking on the HOTWIRE link provided. Is something wrong with the geographic area that I am bidding from?

I'm searching for 1 rooms and 2adults/0children for a 2nite stay of 8/1-8/3... is that the search criteria you're using?

I am using 2 rooms. It hasn't asked me how many people per room but it tells me it accomodates 2 people per room in the breakdown, which is ok because there are onlt two adults per room. All the other criteria is the same.

The 4* does not appear now when searching for 2 rooms (4adults/0children) but there is a 4.5* offered for $123/nite... do you see that on a current HOTWIRE search (use this HOTWIRE link and on the ensuing page you'll be able to enter the number of rooms, adults, and children)

Thank you so much for trying to help. I think I am going to give up on PRICELINE and stick to HOTWIRE, which was what I had used in the past.

Please continue this thread for your HOTWIRE stay... once you make a purchase we'll edit the topic title and move this entire thread to that section of the board.
