starbucksgirl Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 First bid $40, declined. Prompted to raise bid by $12. Accepted the tip, got the room!Just an FYI....when priceline promts you to raise your bid by any amount you can always just close down the page and reopen the PRICELINE link and rebid half the amount that they are prompting you to bid and you will usually still win the hotel. For example in the scenario above. 1. You initially bid $40; it was declined.2. Priceline prompted you to bid $52.3. Close your window (i.e. don't accept their prompting).4. Open a new priceline window.5. Add a "free" rebid zone and bid $46.6. You're very likely to still win the roomI just bid on the same zone and won the Doubletree for $43. Lately, you have been able to get a hotel in the Memphis East zone for this amount (I check several websites including this one to see what to bid). Just a quick tip. Hope it helps! Link to comment
