Following the suggestion. Just now, started a new bid having my other best's make the bid.

Got 4*vMarriott Vancouver Pinnacle Downtown (Nov11-13) for $68 on the first bid.

with tax/fee TOTAL = $159.26

(>> =$79.63/nite approx (x1.18) Cdn $93.46 )

Hotel Reservation site quoted C$149/nite etc

Thanks.

Wondering which City is your Ent Book that has the coupon? usually in which section/color this coupon exists (approx page #)?

Was the coupon only available for USA only?

I tried checking my 2005 Ent book (Calgary, Canada) but did not find the coupon (not knowing what/where to look for anyway!)

In bidding for Vancouver Hotel, I noted some discrepancies among the lists of Zones/Hotels

1) PriceLine in the bidding process offered 6 zones:

Vancouver

Vancouver Aport

Coquitlam-Burnaby

Delta

Langley

Surrey-Pitt Meadows

2) This site offers 4 Zones <http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?act=ST&f=294&t=98&>

Vancouver

Vancouver Aport (No 4*)

Coquitlam - Burnaby (1-4*)

Surrey (1-4* but 4* bidding no longer offered in this zone, double-check

before using as re-bid zone)

3. via the PL Shop & Save (S&S) Portal

4 Zones are offered:

Vancouver (4* $106)

Vancouver Aport ( 4* $201)

Surrey-Langley (4* $65)

North Vancouver (No 4*)

Qs:

a) Any relevance of the 3rd list of zones (Shop & Save) to Name you own price?

:) how to double check the actual existance of 4* hotels in zones applicable to Name your own price as suggested ?

c) in view of the prices listed from the S&S, what is the likely lowest successful bid price for 4* in Vancouver Zone (only)?

Thanks.

Was following the postings in this forum, but did not get the hotel

Nov 11 is a holiday in Vancouver, BC that makes this a long weekend.

1. started with $65 for the Vancouver zone, not successful

2. Added Vanc Aport (no 4*s), re-bid $72. No Go!

Afterwards, I quit.

Suggestions for me to re-bid are greatly appreciated

(Guess that I have to wait for 72hrs before re-bidding?)

Thanks.
