mlgood Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 :) I was bidding this for a friend yesterday. I'm not sure if this has been happening to others but this was a first for me.Bid 3* Toronto YYZ - $30Rejected but got the message to add $8 and our bid would be accepted. Added rebid zone bid $34Rejected again but this time the message said to add $9 and the bid would be accepted.Added rebid zone bid $36Rejected again message again said to add $9.I've never had this happen before. We decided to quit and mull it over. Then my friend got the check status email for the first bid of $30 which still said if she added $8 it would likely be accepted. She was good with that rate considering that the best we could find was $119 Cdn at the same hotel, so she went ahead and bought it at $38. Taxes and fees were $9.44 for a total of $47.44.Has anyone else experienced this thing with the extra amount they're asking for getting higher with each rebid?
mlgood Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Posted September 22, 2004 FYI:Bid 4* Toronto Downtown - $54 - rejectedAdded rebid zone - $58 - rejectedAdded rebid zone - $60 - rejectedAdded rebid zone - $65 - rejected with message to add $17Bidding for a friend and $65 plus fees was her maximum so stopped there.
thereuare Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Thank you for sharing your (friend's) win.I have usually found exactly what you experienced, with the re-bid amount being the same, regardless of the bid amount. Not sure where the $1 difference came into play, but i have often seen the amount needed to raise by remain the same.Maybe others will share their own observations.

mlgood Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Posted September 23, 2004 We quit at $65 because she had set that as her limit. Booked one out at YYZ for her instead.
thereuare Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 What hotel and how much? Maybe other users could use it as well if they're in a similar no-win situation with Priceline.Thanks.
