Am looking to make a further rebid in couple of hours. Could someone please answer the following:

1. Does the 24 hours before you can bid again start from the time of the original bid or the rebid
2. I made bid through Betterbidding link to make original bid and sign up to PL. Do i need to keep going through link to benefit Betterbidding or can i just go into PL via the email they sent me or just signing in.

Thanks again to everyone who has or can assist

1) From the last time you (re)bid.

2) You have to go through the referral link on BB every time in order for any successful bid to be credited to them.

If this is a pain then after you've won:rolleyes: just use the Paypal link to donate some $

It's not a pain but is there a preference that may get better deal!

Hi!

I think I get all this but just need the best strategy on priceline.

I am looking to stay in Dublin on 17/18/19th November 2008.

I like the look of the Westin which is 5* and rooms are £199.00 per night from their website.

Priceline have it as a 5* in Dublin South. The other areas a Dublin North (which has no 5* or 4*) and Dublin Airport (which has no 5*).

From this I think I can get 3 bids a day - original bid (5* - DUBLIN sth), bid 2 add dublin Nth, and bid 3 add airport.

My questions are : what rate should I start my bidding?, when should I start and is there anything else I could be doing?

Any help is much appreciated.

My advice would be to check:
Betterbidding
and
Bidding for Travel.

Good luck, PJB

My answer is:

Did you read Post#1, it has the answers.

Hi,

I have studied post 1, but still dont fell too sure on when I should start. I know that I should be looking at pay around £100.00 per night including taxes. but should I be doing this nearer the time?
