OnTheGoAgain Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hi, Wondering if you can help me with bidding please. I am looking for 4* for 2 nights, June 8 and June 9, 2016. My budget it $125. Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 At current rates I'm not so sure that $125 will be enough for a 4* hotel in one of these zones for these dates,but if you want to give it a try... When bidding 4* in NYC 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* The City... Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $103, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* Mayfair-Soho... Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $103, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* The City and Mayfair-Soho... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125 Any questions feel free to ask.

OnTheGoAgain Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks! You mentioned 8 free rebid zones for NYC. I'm looking in London (not NYC) and only see 5 re-bid zones when i looked on priceline for 4* London. 1. Clapham. 2. Finchley, 3. NW London Harrow, 4. S London Sutton and 5. Southall. Do you agree with my listing? Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sorry for the typo/confusion... When you bidding at the 4* level in LONDON you have NINE re-bid zones so you would still be able to use the strategy above. However, i'm not if you're using the correct method (see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained) to determine your re-bid zones. When determining the 5 zones you listed above are you on the 'retail' side or the 'bidding' side of PRICELINE?

OnTheGoAgain Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ah, i had used the Retail side. I've re-done it using 'bidding' side and now see 9 zones that enable me the free rebids. I will try now. Thanks Link to comment
OnTheGoAgain Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 My bids did not work. I could expand my budget to $160/night? Please provide bid strategy. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 My guess is tha tyou will sill likely come up short at $160 but if you want to give it a try using your NINE re-bid zones: Select 4* The City... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...
