Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (Maitland-Altamonte Springs) Holiday In

[allera]

Going to Disney saturday, needed a room. I was trying for 4* just to see what would happen but ended up with 3*, which is what I was planning on getting anyway. I used up all my rebids on the 4* though. :)

With all areas checked and 4* and 3* checked, my first bid was accepted at $45 to Holiday Inn Orlando Altamonte Springs. I went up to $80 on 4* and quit -- just too much to spend on a room right now. I would have started lower on the $45 but I used up all the rebids on the 4*. I was being conservative (IMO) with the $45.

I wonder if I would have gotten accepted with 4* had I requested 2+ nights instead of just one. Maybe next time. :)

Good luck, all.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

From reading your post it sounds as if you bid 4* adding one zone at a time, and then selected 3*, bidding all the zones that you previously included all at once. If so, here is a tip: once you completed your 4* bidding you can't UNcheck any zones that you previously bid, but if you close that browser and start over, you can begin to bid for 3* hotels with a clean slate... adding one zone at a time (thus allowing you to target your prefered zone(s))

Hope the above helps, and thank you for sharing your winnng bid with the board.

Enjoy your stay.

Ah, did not know that -- sneaky. Thanks, I'll remember that next time. :)
