mommachef Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm looking for a 3.5 * or higher for one night 4/23. In the past, I've won a 3.5* in this area for $43. Tonight I started at $45 and went all the way up to $68 with 6 rebids (adding zones without 3.5 or 4* properties) and still didn't win. The Wyndham (3.5) is offering "best rate" of $105 that night or $89 if you pay now. I'm only $20 off that price and still nothing! Any ideas? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Wyndham (3.5) is offering "best rate" of $105 that night or $89 if you pay now.Which Wyndham are you referring to? I'm familiar with the Wingate by Wyndham - Schaumburg / Convention Center and the Wyndham Garden Schaumburg Chicago Northwest in this zone, but both of these are currently 3* rated by PRICELINE, so if you're referencing one of these you're not comparing apples-to-apples (ie- basing your 3.5* bids on the rate of a 3* hotel) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know if you want to try bidding for a 3* property OR if you're indeed looking for a 3.5* hotel and we will advise accordingly.

mommachef Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wyndham Garden, which I thought was listed as a 3.5 in the hotel list here, but I failed to check it's rating on PRICELINE directly. Hmm....may have to revise my strategy.I think this property was previously listed as a 3.5 when it was a Best Western, maybe that's where I getting that idea from. Link to comment

mommachef Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I kept trying, going all the way up to $65 only to have my bids rejected. I finally took the express deal for $67 for a 3* and got the Wyndham Garden, which is the hotel I was hoping for anyway! So it all worked out. Just had hoped for a lower price, but it's still $20 off the lowest price on their site so that's good. Link to comment
mommachef Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Tried bidding up to $65 for a 3* and failed, so I finally took the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. This was the hotel I was hoping for anyway, so I'm happy. $20 lower than the lowest rate on their site. Link to comment
