sunrse1014 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 HiI am new to this board. I just found about you. I did have success with my first bid ever on priceline about a month ago. I have tried again for the second time to get post cruise 2/28- 3/1 with no sucess yet. I needed some help and wasn't sure how to go about it.I have tried to get a resort hotel in the San Juan Puerto Rico. I started out with $88, $99, $105 and $110 with adding other zones that don't have the resorts over a period of a few days and they were all rejected. When I did this for a week earlier for one night I got the Caribe Hilton for $99 so I couldn't figure out why I was having a hard time with these other dates.I was looking at the other advice you guys give other people and talk about rebidding by Selecting Resort San Juan Bid a certain price if rejected add re-bid zone 1 , and so forth and so on all the way to zone 5. so stupid or not i am not understanding that how you just rebid each zone in a row?Can anybody help with easier step by step instructions for me to understand better than the instructions I mention above so that I can get a hotel room?ThanksDM
thereuare Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!We don't suggest you go down the list and simply add zones, as in those previous strategies you saw, there was a comment along the lines of this:(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)So re-bid zone1 is NOT the same as the first zone PRICELINE listsre-bid zone is NOT the same as the second zone PRICELINE listsetc, etcHave you seen Priceline Re-Bidding Explained?Let us know if the above clarifies things a bit, and if not, ask any questions you still have.As well, please post the details of your previous win to the board, as your win could help somebody else who is looking for a hotel in the area for the same date of your stay.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know if you have the re-bidding part down and we'll take it from there.

sunrse1014 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 I used the link here for PRICELINE.Sheraton Old San Juan2/28/10 for one night$85I am just so thankful to get a hotel. I was bidding on Resort level and 4* for more money and wasn't getting a bite. I lowered it and lowered the star level and I finally got something.
thereuare Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Glad you were ultimately successful and pleased with the outcome. This hotel is especially nice if you're taking a cruise from the Old San Juan pier as the hotel is directly at the end of the pier... simply embark with your bags in hand!Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
