Priceline Hotel: 4* Atlanta (Buckhead) InterContinental Buckhead

[Scot Krause]

Only bid on 4* Buckhead. Started out with $55 and increased by $5 every 24 hours until my bid was accepted at $70. The W Buckhead was listing on Expedia.com for $98, so I had a feeling I would wind up there. Was surprised to get the InterContinental for $70!

Stayed at the hotel the last 2 nights and had a great time! Gorgeous hotel, very nice!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing your previous win with the board.

For future bidding, you may want to learn about re-bidding (see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained) which, if done correctly, will help you bid again in most areas without having to wait the 24 hour lock-out period. If you're new to re-bidding you're strongly encouraged to ask any questions you have regarding the concept and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future travel purchases.

Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Thanks!

I am indeed familiar with the rules for rebidding without waiting 24 hours. However, we specifically wanted a 4* in the Atlanta Buckhead area, so 24 hours was our only option. Fortunately, I started bidding 10 days before our trip, so waiting 24 hours between bids was not a problem! :)

Not really... the idea behind re-bidding is adding areas which only have hotels at star levels lower than the star level you select, which essentially allows you bid again immediately for the same zone, without the possibility of receiving the zone you just added (since it only has star levels lower than the minimum threshold you selected)

Please give Priceline Re-Bidding Explained a read and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Enjoy your stay.
