kstrom Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I bid unsuccessfully for a minivan from the Minneapolis-St Paul airport on Friday 8/1 (the bid was $25). On Saturday 8/2, I got email from priceline that said:We have great news XXXXX! Since it has been at least 1 day since your last request, you can try your exact same Name your own price ...I thought that you had to wait 72 hours between bids for cars. Has this changed?If not, is the invitation to rebid after only 24 hrs a sign that my $25 bid was in the ballpark (like a counteroffer for a hotel)?Thanks,Kstrom
thereuare Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Yes, the lock-out period for car rentals is now only 24 hours (changed about 6-8 weeks ago)However, please DON"T use the link in the email sent by PRICELINE... come here and click our own link to get to PRICELINE.Thanks!! (and good luck with your next round of bidding) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
