I'm sure this is just one of many things on the 'List to Do'.

Hopefully they'll release some more inventory for you in the upcoming weeks.

Was this your first bid in the zone or what price was previously rejected?

Out of curiosity, are you putting all the reservations in your name and you will check everyone in, or do you have a list of who needs rooms and putting them in the individual's names.

Thanks for the post and wishing you continued good luck.

Thanks thereuare

I have to change the name each time ... PL catch's my bids stating something like... I already have a reservation on this date and can NOT place another one?

This was my first bid for this zone. PL vacations price led me to think it would take over $45 ... so, $32 was just taking a chance.

I've seen that message before (over 2 years ago) and it was more of a warning, "You already have a reservation for this date, are you sure you have entered the dates correctly?".

Perhaps they've changed it.

The times that I have gotten this mesage its just making sure that I know I already have a room for that date. In the end it still let me book the second room in my name.

Here is what it says... I normally change names ... however, I decided to test the waters a little. There was NO way to go past this screen and it wasn't that friendly reminder about already having a reservation.

"Our records indicate that you already have two reservations for the same requested itinerary. For your protection and security, this is the maximum number of reservations that priceline will allow for the same itinerary. Enjoy your stay!"

I also tried again under a new account, different credit card and name ... this time at $30 and got a counter offer for $38. I than bid all the way up to $40 and never won. This happened to me a few years ago when trying to add a room at the HGI-Oakbrook. I tried a week later and won. Hopefully, with this counter-offer, my chances for more rooms look good.

And have never done more than two confirmed request for the same person, regardless of the number of rooms reserved, is the limit.

We're always learning something new here! :)

Just added one more room ... I tried for four rooms first, than just one which I won ... than, thinking, maybe they can squeeze out just one more .... declined.

I now have 9 rooms here ... still hope to score 12 ... so, I can keep my whole in-laws side together.

The 2.5* Courtyard is right down the street and you can walk between the two. It had very clean rooms when I stayed there. I don't think holiday Inn would be my frist or last choice.
