Priceline Hotel: 3* DC (White House-Downtown) Four Points

[chickpea1111]

Need some help with a bid I started yesterday.

I am ideally trying to get a 4* in Dupont Circle or Downtown for Feb 24-27th. I was wanting to use a $10/night bonus bucks from Priceline that expires today.

Yesterday I started with a $70 bid for Dupont Circle, then added downtown. This was rejected.

Today I raised bid to $80 started with Dupont Circle, Downtown. This was rejected. I then added Georgetown/Foggy Bottom and lowered to 3.5*. I was shocked that this was not accepted either!

Any advice?

Also - has anyone used bonus bucks? I am starting to think they are useless. It would make more sense if you could make your bids and win them and then apply it afterward as a coupon. Just to clarify my original bid was $60 (plus $10 bonus bucks) for a total of $70.

I went ahead and lowered to a 3* Dupont and Downtown with a bid of $75. My bid was accepted at Four Points Sheraton Downtown. I was surprised I didn't luck out with that bid for 3.5* based on other win postings.
