I have not used priceline for portland before so I though i'd get some advice! I am planning to go to Portland October 8-11, 2011 and would like to stay downtown in a 4 star. What would you start your bids at? Are there rebid zones in Portland? I would love to get the nines...

Thanks!

I started bidding at $60, then had to increase to $65, $68, $70 and finally won the Edgewater Hotel at $75.

I hope I get a good room there again, I have stayed there once before on a priceline win and got a waterfront room, despite reading reviews of priceline guests getting noisy, street view rooms.

I started at $60 and was rejected. I rebid at $65, and again at $68, $70, $73, $75 and was finally successful at $78! Total with taxes came to $97.07. My max bid was going to be $80 so I'm happy with how it played out.

I haven't used priceline in awhile but I feel like a new screen came up after I initially put in my first bid of $60 in. The screen told me how low of a bid I'd put in and that the average successful bid for my chosen area is something like $xxx and do I want to readjust my bid because I can't rebid for 24 hours...is this new???

At the 4* level you have TEN 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* Pike Place...

Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I started bidding at $60 and won with a bid of $78. I got the Sheraton and am happy! Thanks for the strategy, it was a big help:)

If you let us know your maximum bid we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

My max bid would ideally be around $80.

Hello,

I'm looking for some help with what $$ amount I should start bidding at for 1 night, Nov 21, 2009 in a 4* Seattle Downtown-Pike Place?? I haven't seen any posted wins for that weekend yet... Please help:)

Thanks

I just wanted to add that we had a good experience at the Edgewater, despite reading lots of bad reviews that mentioned priceline customers getting noisy, parking lot view rooms and being offered cash upgrades for waterfront rooms. I was given a waterfront room without any mention of upgrading, perhaps I was just lucky but I thought we got a great deal for $70! :)

Hi, I bid $70 and got the Edgewater, 1 night Apr 9, 2009. It wasn't my first choice but it's a deal!

Hi I am new to PRICELINE and am wondering what a good bidding strategy would be for the following:

Seattle - Downtown, 4 Star, Apr 9, 2009, 1 night. I would like to keep under $100 (all in) and I was thinking of starting at $75, what do you think??

Thanks:)
