aoigirl Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi all I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of districts, have looked at this Priceline San Francisco thread. Haven't been in the US for a while now rusty on the bidding. i'm after either Civy Centre sth, Japan town, SOMA, Union square east, union squar west. We can live with a 3.5 star but I think let's start at the 4 and a 4.5 level. I'm looking at about $140 a night, given that it's weekday and not a weekend. Is that too aggressive? Thanks in advance for your advice. Link to comment

aoigirl Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 sorry about that, updated now. It was just too much of a battle and wait for my mom to sit out trying to find a place! Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 There are currently no 4* hotels offered thru PRICELINE bidding in the Civic Center South or Japan Town zones, so we will adjust your request to: 4* hotel in the USE, USW, or SOMA zones up to $140/nite If this is now correct you can try as follows... When bidding 4* in San Francisco you have SIX re-bid zones. 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. Select 4* USE...

Bid $138 If the above is rejected PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel in the USE zone for $147/nite, but using the discount link and code in my signature takes an additional 5% OFF bringing this inline with your $140/nite, and you can simply take that offer.

aoigirl Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ok so I had to wait for my cc to clear up funds. I think I made a mistake on one of the rebid zones, but I got up to about $130 and still nothing. Will try again in 24 hours. I didn't get in quick enough with your deal so it looks like I've missed out now. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm still seeing the $147/nite deal for your dates, but the extra 5% OFF has now expired. Let us know how the next round of bidding goes (or if you want to confirm your re-bid zones beforehand) and we'll take it from there. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Good luck!

aoigirl Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks, I'm in Australia so it's forcing it to be in AUD, and definitely $147 isn't the $190 it's saying when I go to your link! I just played around with it and it is coming up as $177 US instead of $147US. Do you know if there is a reason why it's doing that? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 This Union Square East hotel is still offered for $147/nite... the $177 rate you're seeing is the 'all-in' rate per nite including taxes and fees (the $147/nite comes to $532 total all-in, which i assume is the same total that you are seeing) As a side-note, the PRICELINE EXPRESS coupon in my signature has been extended until noon today (EST) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aoigirl Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks - given the time differences I'll have to resort to the bidding strategy! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Have you tried the previous bidding strategy above up to $138/nite? (if so, when was the last time you bid) Is USE, USW and SOMA up to $140/nite still your current objective? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aoigirl Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 just working on this now, as I type The priceline machine is very 'slow' yes still same objective Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Let us know the outcome and we'll take it from there.

aoigirl Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 No luck at all on the bid up to 138. Are the 3 stars any good in the same areas? (there doesn't seem to be as many zones for rebid... Would you have any idea what this hotel 4 star is? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Which 4*... the PRICELINE EXPRESS for $147/nite in the USE zone with: Pets Allowed Restaurant Business Center ... i'm not certain, but a guess would be the Sir Francis Drake. Priceline.express also has a 3.5* hotel in the USW zone for $134/nite and this one has a good 8.0/10.0 user review from previous guests: Pets Allowed Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center ... my guess here would be the Serrano Hotel. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Let us know how it goes or how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

aoigirl Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks, should have gone for the 5% discount when I had the chance. 4* was Sir Francis Drake at $177. Thanks very much for the help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel guessed and that you're pleased with the results.
