iloveplaid Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hello, looking to visit Montreal and grab a hotel for 2 nights, Jun 28-30 of 2015. Looking at these areas: Montreal Downtown - Festival Area Montreal Downtown - Financial District Montreal Downtown - Latin Quarter – detail map Old Montreal - Convention Centre – detail map Could I get some help with bidding strategies please? I see a couple of PRICELINE EXPRESS deals at $118 and $122/night. Would like to get in at $95/night if possible. Also, does the fact that this is sorta last minute help or hurt my chances? Cheers and thanks for such a helpful board! Link to comment
yellowdog Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! To confirm, you're looking for a 4* hotel? I'm not sure that $95 will fly. What is your max budget/night excluding tax/fee's before you consider taking a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal? Let us know and we'll go from there. 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. Yellowdog. Link to comment
iloveplaid Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hello Yellowdog --- apologies yes 4* .... $95 before taxes and fees (USD) would be the max. I think at that point we'd give a 3* a look if unsuccessful. Do you thinking upping to $100 would land one? Cheers Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looking at these areas: Montreal Downtown - Festival Area Montreal Downtown - Financial District Montreal Downtown - Latin Quarter – detail map Old Montreal - Convention Centre – detail mapThere is currently no 4* bidding offered in the Latin Quarter zone so we will exclude that from your bidding strategy. I have provided a strategy below up to $110/nite but you can of course stop at whatever level you're comfortable with... When bidding 4* in Montreal you have EIGHT 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* Festival and Financial... Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...
