Hi,
eine Fernsehstation (komotv.com/news/7516117.html) aus Seattle berichtet ueber eine kleine Modifikation der priceline bidding strategy mit der man angeblich mehr als die ueblichen freien Rebids erhalten kann. Vielleicht will das ja mal jemand ausprobieren:
Hier ein Auszug:
<<After you've been rejected, don't use the page Priceline serves up next. Go back a few steps and reconfigure your zone combinations. This is important to maximize your free rebids.
Hit the back button on your browser a few times and get back to your original bid screen and add a zone to your preferred zone.
In my case, I go back to the first time I bid on a four-star hotel in downtown Seattle. Last time I added Bothell. This time, I make sure downtown Seattle is selected and add Lake Union with Bothell removed. Lake Union is another zone that doesn't have a four-star hotel.
Priceline recognizes each combination of city pairings, hotel class and price as a unique bid. As long as you don't duplicate anything, Priceline will accept your new bid.
In my case, I add Lake Union, add another $1 for an $82 bid and get rejected again. I go back a few pages on my browser, click on my preferred area downtown Seattle and select Everett, which is another area without a four-star hotel.
I add $1 to my bid and get rejected again.
Just keep on changing your city combinations with areas that don't have a hotel that's your preferred class or higher. By doing so, you can keep bidding without the fear of staying outside of your preferred zone.
Mathematically, I had up to 86 different bidding combinations for a four-star hotel in downtown Seattle. With each bid, I was guaranteed I wouldn't stay anywhere else. >>
