CurlyGurly77 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Have been reading this forum for years and have used PL for years. I need help for the first time, however.I started my bidding at $95 and went up to $104 and got rejected at 3.5 stars and up. I did a new bid today and included Culver City on my second try since they have no 4 stars and bid the 104. I got a message that I could have a free re-bid if I bid $126. I don't know if I should do this or if I should wait 24 hours and try again. The dates are for the weekend of Nov. 6 - 3 nights.Any help is appreciated!
CurlyGurly77 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 Just wanted to add that when I say I have used PL for years, I don't travel often and so the last time I used PL was probably over 2 years ago :)When using PL, I do use the PRICELINE link from here and have used it again for this trip :) Thanks in advance for your help.If I get a winning bid, I will also post it on here. (Although it's looking like I can get a hotel for not much more than what PL wants me to bid)

Is it 4* rated?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

CurlyGurly77 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Posted October 31, 2009 I don't know if I should make a new post or if there is a way to edit this post.I decided to wait and used the free rebidding strategy and got them to accept a bid of $110. I got the Andaz West Hollywood and I'm totally psyched b/c that is the same hotel I have stayed at before when it was just a regular Hyatt.
