Yes I have read about the free rebidding and how you can get around that too.

We are arriving on 4/17 and staying 2 nights. I am sure the rates will be higher than normal due to the horse races.

I would like to get something around $125 max (not including any fees).

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Two questions:

1) there are no 3.5* properties offered in the East zone... did you only want to bid the South zone or are you interested in lowering your star rating to 3* at all?

2) you mention the "South" zone, and PRICELINE lists (Lexington - Lexington South) and (South Lexington - Highway 418) as zone names... i assume you're refering to the Lexington/Lexington South as one of your selections?

Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

At the 3.5* level you have two re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)

Given the time before your stay i would try lowballing first as follows:

Select 3.5* South...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* South and re-bid zone2...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $85

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

First, don't get discouraged, as previously noted, we're lowballing a bit...

24 hours from your last rejected bid, try again as follows:

Select 3.5* South...

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* South and re-bid zone2...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $105

PRICELINE may send you an email if/when you're eligible to bid again, but please be sure to return here and click our link to PRICELINE and not use any of the links in the email they send you.

If the above is rejected post back and we'll revise again to your limit.

Good luck and keep us updated.

I continued bidding on 3.5* and got up to $105 and all bids were rejected.

Then decided that I would be ok w/ staying in a 3* so started w/ Lexington East. Last bid was at $95 and got rejected. Might try again later today after the 24 hours.

Any advice would be helpful though. Thank you.

I started w/ the East only. Then included the Lexington- Lexington South. And then raised my bid and included one region that does not have 3*. Basically kept the same concept that you adviced of but tried just bidding on 3* thinking that the rate would be less but the hotels would almost be just as nice. No luck so far.

Going forward, do you want to try up to $125 for a 3.5* first in only the South zone or do you want to try for the least expensive 3* or better in either zone? (presumably still using $125 as a maximum, even at the 3* level)

Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

I ended up getting rooms at the Crowne Plaza for $105/night. Really good for this time of the year. Normally the rooms are around $190. Thanks for all your advice and I will check back when we book rooms again!

I booked the Hotel rooms through PRICELINE and did use your link.

Got the Crown Plaza Campbell House Lexington. It is a 3* hotel and located in the Lexington- Lexington South zone. Got the rooms for $105/night.
