Twist-ed Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 I tried the above strategy, using the PRICELINE link on this board. No luck. I'm going to drop my star rating to 3*, for the same region, and try bidding again.
thereuare Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Only three re-bid zones available at the 3* level so if you need help with an updated bidding strategy let us know you'll be keeping your maximum bid at $75 and we'll take it from there.Thank you for using our PRICELINE link for your bidding.
