Priceline Hotel: 4* Minneapolis-St Paul (Downtown Minneapolis) Hyatt Regency

[jimmythemonkey]

Hello everyone,

Hoping that someone can help me. I was bidding on a 4 star Minneapolis room and I determined that there were 13 rebid zones, so, I started at 30.00. It, of course rejected this offer, so, I checked another zone that did not have any 4 star properties and it rejected my next bid of 32.00 and then took me to a screen of non-name your own price hotels. In other words, I was expecting to have rebid chances and it only gave me 2. Does anyone know if this is something new or what I did wrong? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Shooting for a 4* in downtown Minneapolis and determined that I had 13 chances to rebid. Selected downtown for the first bid (30.00), rejected. Added Burnsville and upped the bid to 32.00, rejected. Then added 5 more free rebid zones, bidding in 2.00 increments. Bid of 42.00 was accepted. Total: 42.00 x 2 = 84.00 + 18.81 (taxes and fees) = 102.81.

Thank you for this great board!!!

This is covered in boards PRICELINE FAQ.

Just to a reminder to anyone reading that Priceline will not accept bids under $40 when bidding at the 4 star level. Any bid under $40 will automatically be rejected, which was the experience of the OP in this thread.
