Cshell5 Posted February 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Every 72 hrs., using the 8 free bids and I still can't get a 4* downtown hotel in Vancouver for June 12th. Does anyone have any reason why this might be? :confused: I started by bid and $60 and went up to $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTLS Posted March 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It may just be that this is an expensive time and $100 won't do it. Have you been to one of the "Priceline" Help sites for any input? I always use http://www.betterbidding.com and I find it very helpful especially to look back and see what others have paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cshell5 Posted March 1, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Priceline doesn't like me. No luck today. Looking for 4*,Vancouver,June 12.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailboater1 Posted March 2, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Don't feel bad, they don't like me either. I even went higher than $100 for a 4* in Vancouver for May 8-10, every 72 hours, and zero, nadda. I have a pretty nice backup, I hope, for $115, so I don't want to bid any higher now. Good luck with your next bid. I don't think I will mess with Priceline any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-May Posted March 2, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I don't know anything about Priceline but live in Vancouver and deal with hotels for work. From May to October (cruise season of course!) the prices skyrocket in the downtown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose Sandy Posted March 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Way to go, Cshell5! We also got it for $80 (in August). You've been working hard at this for quite a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
