Roms Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi.This website is great! I've been a bit scared to use PRICELINE, but I want to give it a try. I want a 3* or better in Atlantic city or Cape May for 6/20-6/21. (I would like something beachfront.) So is this what I'd do??4*AC-downtown if rejected4*AC-Cape May if rejected4*AC-Ventnor if rejectedClose browser3* AC-downtown if rejected3*AC-Ventnor if rejected3*AC-Cape May Is that right?? I'm nervous. TIA Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!I don't think you have it exactly right, so hold off bidding for the moment and let's try to clarify a few things...First, you can't guarantee a Beachfront property when using PRICELINE. If you only want somthing Beachfront then use HOTWIRE and looking for a property that shows the Beachfront icon.If your desire for "beachfront" is not a deal breaker and you want to proceed with PRICELINE, you first need to understand re-bidding, which is explained here: Priceline Re-Bidding ExplainedAt the 4* level you have FOUR re-bid zones, at the 3.5* level you have THREE re-bid zones, and at the 3* level you have TWO re-bid zones. Please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and see if yon can determine your re-bid zones at each star level and we'll confirm them for you... if you're not able to do so, or you're confused, just post back and we'll break it down further for you.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Roms Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks! I think I have it figured out. I've bidding the last couple days, haven't won yet. It's just more than I want to spend right now. I have some time before my trip and will try again. I'll post my win. Link to comment
