Bid $65 for 4 star French Quarter, was rejected but Priceline came back with: can try bid again for $79 without changing or adding anything. So I did and got the Marriott for $79. Had been trying for 4 1/2 star to $140 and kept getting rejected, so happy to save money for a very quick wknd trip to watch Superbowl. Yes, I am leaving NJ on Superbowl weekend to go to New Orleans!

Yes I was using as re-bid knowing there werent 4* hotels there. The hotel was the Westin at the lower end, which I know isn't in a good location for me. Do you think I just need to expect to bid higher this weekend? I saw another post on a following weekend that someone got for a good rate. I definitely am using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links, thank you!

oh sorry:

zone 2- Ft. Lauderdale Downtown

zone 3 - Airport north

zone 4 - airport

zone 5 - Ft. Lauderdale beach

Thanks

Hi, I was hoping you could help me. I have read the suggestions and am trying to get a 2 night hotel pre-cruise from 3/15 -3/17 in Ft. Lauderdale by the port and beach. I am bidding rates similar to other winning bids, but not sure if I am too low during this time? When I search hotels in area using same parameters, there are about 14 available with rates from $152 +.

Here is what I am doing:

1. bid 4 * - zone 2 - $82

2. bid 4 * - zone 2, 5 - $88

3. bid 4 * - zone 2, 5, 3 - $92

4. bid 4 * - zone 2, 5, 3, 4 - $98

Any help is appreciated. not sure if I am too low, or if I need to lower * level.

Thank you.
