I had estimated my current budget at around 110, while 130 would not be too unreasonable.

(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)

Bid up to 115 and was rejected.

Ended up getting le merridian via starwoods points (4000 + 60USD). Normal rate is 160EUR.
