arbitrageur Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've got a nice 24 hour layover on 3/5/11 and would like to stay in the Waikiki Beach area - 4* or Resort level as my first choice, max $150. As a second choice, I'd like to bid on a 4* or greater property in the Waikiki Marina area - max bid $125. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 To confirm... did you want to bid:1) for a Resort up to your limit in Waikiki Beach, then if rejected try for a 4* up to your limit in Waikiki Beach, then if rejected try up to your limit for a 4* in the Marina zone, OR2) for the least expensive 4* or better in the Waikiki Beach zone up to your limit, then if rejected try for the Marina zone, OR3) bid for a 4* or better in the Waikiki Beach and Marina zones up to $125, then if rejected continue onward in the Beach zone up to $150Let us know your preference and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 At the Resort level you have FOUR re-bid zones... only THREE re-bid zones at the 4* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select Resort Waikiki Beach...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect Resort Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect Resort Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone4...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect Resort Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone3 and re-bid zone4...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150If the above is rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone1 and re-bid zone2...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone1 and re-bid zone3...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Waikiki Beach and re-bid zone1 and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $130I think you have a good chance with the above, but if it's rejected just post back and we'll revise according.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
