Please help a newby with Priceline

[cobra46]

I am trying to get a room in San Pedro, Ca at either the Doubletree or Crown Plaza. Many have said that either of these can be had at $65 plus tax. Hoping to get lucky, I log into PRICELINE and make my first bid at $55. When I try to bump it up it says I have to change something other than bid price. This is crazy as I can't change my date, don't want to stay at a lessor property nor in another location.

Is there a way to rebid but only changing the bid price?

Thanks
