jimmy0999 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 I've run into this before and don't know how to proceed.Today I bid $47 on a 3 star hotel in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Along with the rejection, I was told that I could rebid NOW if I inceased my bid by $13.Am I guaranteed getting the room if I increase my bid by $13 - when I tried to rebid by $8, I was told that the new amount had to be $13 more than my original bid.Please advise.
dahammer Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 increasing the bid by the suggested amount will work just about all of the time, you can also undercut the counteroffer by waiting 24 hours or using a rebid zone. To use a rebid zone, you will need to close out your browser and then re-access PRICELINE (hopefully using the links on the board). Hopefully you are familiar with Priceline Rebidding Explained
