bailee Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I want to bid on a 4* in Chatham for 07/07/09 - 07/10/09 in hopes to get the Chatham Barrs inn. Has anyone gotten this hotel through Priceline? It's listed in their regular section at around $400/night. What do you think I should start my bidding at?Thanks!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ regarding using the "retail" version to determine what you will receive thru the "bidding" version of their site. Would you be disappointed if you received a different 4* property in this zone?Given the $400/nite rate, how high are you willing to bid for a 4* hotel in this zone?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

bailee Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thank you - I checked out the link. I would like to spend under $200 for any 4-star in the area. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 When bidding 4* in the Cape Cod region you have SIX re-bid zones. 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)Select 4* Chatham...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Chatham and re-bid zone5...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Chatham and re-bid zone6...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $175, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Chatham and re-bid zone5 and re-bid zone6...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $200Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

bailee Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thank you for the strategy. I started by following your instructions, bid until zone 4, closed browser and re-opened with your PRICELINE link. I then continued with your strategy but on my first try received the following message:We were not able to process this request since our records indicate you have already made a request for this same trip. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number ###I tried again a few times, but kept getting this message. Not sure where I went wrong.... Link to comment

bailee Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 The other areas available in the region that don't have 4 star hotels (which is all of them)....Am I missing something?! Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 When you closed the browser and re-accessed PRICELINE did you select Chatham and re-bid zone5? (which should be one of the re-bid zones you didn't use in the previous 'cycle')Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

bailee Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 yes, i did that. thanks for your help, but i think i may just book through an inn in the end. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 If you do decide to go regular rate, deal0hotel coupon code should take 10% off most hotels on Orbitz.com.Please use the site's Orbitz.com link if this is of interest. Link to comment
