Rawson819 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 Using the BetterBidding PRICELINE link, I made my way through the majority of the provided strategy. After "Select 4* Quincy and Copley and Boston Harbor Front...Bid $130", I received the following response:Try Again Right NowWe searched hundreds of options to find your hotel room, however we can't accept your offer of $130 per room, per night. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number xxx-xxx-xxx-xx. If you are willing to raise your price by $22, you can try the same request again right now.Normally you are required to change additional items (add zones, star level, or dates) in order to try your request again. However we are able to extend this one-time opportunity to you because of the zone, quality level and dates you requested.Untempted by this offer, I pressed on with plan and bid $135, which was accepted at The Back Bay Hotel.Thank you for the assistance!
thereuare Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Nice job ignoring the counter-offer.
