4 out of the 5 HOTWIRE hotels are over your stated $120 budget, is your game plan to try bidding on PRICELINE first? Is so, which PRICELINE zone(s) would you want to bid?

Also, will you be in Vancouver again 2 weeks later as well, or do the dates above replace the dates in your previous Priceline Vancouver thread?

This is the first leg of my Vancouver stay 8/24 to 8/30. I will leave for NYC on 8/30 and return to Vancouver on 9/8.

For the 8/24 Vancouver stay, my intention is get a 3 star or 3.5 star room (max $120) either on PL or HW whichever is cheaper. I dont mind any zone except not near to East Hastings. Also near to public transportation would be a plus. I am quite keen on Vancouver South esp if it is the Holiday Inn but I dont see that coming up as often in PL or HW now.

Tks

To avoid any confusion, please list the zones you are willing to accept (rather than the ones you won't accept) and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Also, did you first want to try for a 3.5* hotel up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3* hotel... OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?

Let us know the above and we will take it from there.

To confirm, at the 3.5* level you're willing to bid up to $120 in:

Downtown - Coal Harbor, Stanley Park, Convention Center

Downtown - Entertainment, Shopping District

If that is rejected then try bidding 3* in up to $100 in:

Downtown - Coal Harbor, Stanley Park, Convention Center

Downtown - Entertainment, Shopping District

City Hall - Vancouver South

Is the above correct? Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly.

I'm sorry... i see above i posted a 4* bidding strategy but you asked for a 3.5* and 3* strategy, did you bid the 4* as posted or did you bid at the 3.5* level? (where there are only 4 re-bid zones)

I do think you can be successful at the 4* level with another $10-$15/nite, but not sure if you prefer a lower rated hotel for a little lower bid price.

Please confirm which star rating you previously bid and which star rating you'd like to try next, we will advise accordingly.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

I bid on a 4-star strategy. If it is just an additional 10 or 15 dollars a night, I will take another shot at 4-star.

 

However, for the period 8/25 to 8/29, it will be just one person staying in the room since my partner will be away fishing.  I can settle for a 3.5 star, if all fails.  I am just worried, I may be left stranded with no back-up plan.

I wouldn't be too concerned about not finding a place at this point in time... your bids should be close enough to success and you have about 4 weeks before your arrival.

24 hours after your last bid attempt i would re-try (please use the links in this thread and not any links that PRICELINE may send letting you know that you're eligible to bid again):

Yippee :D !

 

Followed your strategy to the T.  Was counter-offered $153.00 when I reached $123, but soldiered on although was so tempted.  Got The Westin Grand Vancouver at my last free Whiterock rebid.  Very happy with this property (IMHO better than my earlier Sheraton priceline win of $155) and I have stayed here before.  The kitchenette will surely come in handy for my stay.

 

Many many thanks for your assistance and yes used your PRICELINE link.

 

P/S

 I wonder whether I should now relooked at my NYCstay for 8/31 to 9/8.  I have a cancellable UWS 3* hotel for $189.00 (8 nites - $1779/-) which includes free internet and breakfast. I was not able to get win any hotel on the recommended strategy.  Any thoughts?  I like and am familiar with the UWS.

Congratulations on your success!

Well done! Glad to see you are familiar with this property and pleased with the hotel and deal you received.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy this leg of your trip and your return visit to this property.

Please continue your existing Priceline NYC thread for further help with NYC (where we had previously responded and are awaiting your reply)

Thanks.
