rikatine Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Started out with $52 downtown and kept adding zones at $55 $58 to $$60. Decided to stop, afraid of hotel too far from downtown, but was enticed back by PRICELINE email. Did not know before registering here that I should have come back to the PRICELINE link here. Anyway, I decided to add a couple more zones with only 3* listed went to $63 then $65. All failed. What next? Start over after 24 hours? Link to comment

Decided to stop, afraid of hotel too far from downtown...You have plenty of re-bid zones available when bidding 4* in this area (and 3.5* and 3* too) so that, if you add the 'right' zones, you can continue to bid higher and not have to worry about landing a hotel outside of the Downtown zone. Are you familiar with re-bidding? If not, see this thread, Priceline Re-Bidding Explained, and feel free to ask questions before proceeding.What is your maximum bid for a 4* hotel for this stay? How about at the 3.5* and 3* levels?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

rikatine Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 This part of my post was move to my Priceline PDX airport topic. Here it is.Bid $52 3.5* for Downtown, rejected but offered to buy for $15 more without any changes. I declined and resumed bidding by adding a free zone and offering $55. Accepted Portland Marriott City Center total charges $195.63. I used the link from this board and thank those who were so helpful in my failed 4* bid and also my PDX airport postings.Location was the most important factor for me and the price is really what I had in mind to pay so I am happy with my results.
