Priceline Bidding Advice

jicms

Does this mean she doesn't like UK residents using the UK PL site or that she doesn't like them using BFT either?!

Could you confirm that there's no way I can get the Wynn with Priceline, it being in the North with the Trump? If I only bid for the South Zone I would be pretty sure of getting the Venetian, Palazzo or TheHotel?

Thanks again for spending so much time with this.

Biddingfortravel rules

BiddingForTravel.com supports Priceline.com (U.S.) travel bidding only.....

She will tolerate any foreigner using BFT :-BUT you MUST bid through her link AND use the USA site only.

Presently it has been reported that the Wynn and the Trump are in Pl North zone along with the Venetian and the Palazzo. THEhotel being reported as being in the South zone.

So if you bid on the South zone only you should not get the Trump nor the Wynn

However it is not unknown for PL to alter maps, merge zones etc so this is no 100% guarantee (more like 99% )

This tip from Sheryll could pay off at times.

Looks like I can only try for THEhotel or otherwise risk getting the Trump in the North.

My hope was seeing the only wins on the map around my dates were for The Wynn (North Zone).

[FONT=&quot]I read this but it seems unlikely I could save money doing this compared with booking what looks like The Wynn on Hotwire for £119.

I made the decision to go for the 5* central strip on Hotwire and luckily it was the Wynn. The wait was to my advantage as the rate had gone down to $109. Now there's talk of people being bumped to the Trump!

I've posted my win on BB for the forum info. even though it was you who gave me all the advice.

Have done!

Thank you. Hope it warms up! Hopefully The Wynn has been slated enough to have stopped bumping people. I'll certainly demand a night's refund if they do!

I owe a lot to you and the Moneysavingexpert website!

One last thing you could do to return the favour

Post a hotel review on BB for both the Red Rock and Wynn.

Neither have a review there and its good to get a perspective from someone who hasn't paid top dollar.

Enjoy the trip and win BIG!

I will do, unless I come back bankrupt and feel too depressed!!

We are looking at that as well. It is definitely Wynn, you can tell not only by the fact it does not have the condo and no smoking icons, (Trump) it could be Venetian but for the number of trip adviser reviews;)
P.S. It seems that the $20 trick works well there as well, try it for a Panoramic room upgrade
