Hated your "win"

[mamasoph]

Have anyone ever bid and won a specific hotel that they somehow just don't want? I am just curious??? If you did, is there any way out of your winning bids? I read in a previous post about some re-bid (may not be the proper term) for something better that they have already won. I asked a question on it and I don't think I got a response. I can't seem to find that post again... :)

Any input would be interesting.

Thanks!

Are talking about the Golden Nugget question?

Look in your profile under posts. You will see evrything you have posted there.

Thank you thank you thank you. And I just re-read it! I am assuming they meant booking directly with the hotel, with the option to cancel?

Sorry for the questions but who doesn't want the best deal possible! :)

That's correct :)

So, basically once we "win" we are stuck with our "win"?

[yellowdog]

Yes, but there is things that goes wrong when bidding etc. And sometimes PRICELINE and HOTWIRE let's the guest bid again or re-book the stay against a fee.

Can you further explain this? With a fee? Do you know how much?

There is no way to cancel for a hotel you did not want. In terms of canceling because there was a problem with the bid, this would be an instance of if you entered the wrong dates by accident or something along those lines. Given the nature of the service - a discount service where you have to be willing to accept what you get - PRICELINE has even occasionally said no to some requests like this (wrong dates, selected wrong rating, etc)

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Additionally, "re-bidding" is a bidding strategy to get more chances at the initial bidding - it is not a way to "re-bid" after getting an undesired result.

Thanks for all of your help. I will keep on researching!
