thereuare Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!What is your maximum bid for this stay? Note that HOTWIRE has a 5* hotel in Vienna for your dates for $129/nite, although note that they may define the zone boundaries differently and/or their 5* hotel may not necessarily be rated 5* by PRICELINE.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

gcooley Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 I had estimated my current budget at around 110, while 130 would not be too unreasonable.
thereuare Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 At the 5* level you have THREE 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 5* City Centre...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* City Centre and re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* City Centre and re-bid zone3...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* City Centre and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130Any 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.
