Added Soma - Moscone Center and bid up to $115 again, but still no luck.
No luck with:
4*
USE: $90
USE+USW: $95
USE+USW+1 free rebid zone: $100
USE+USW+2 free rebid zones: $105
USE+USW+3 free rebid zones: $110
USE+USW+4 free rebid zones: $115
I'd prefer not lowering the star rating, and increasing my bid little by little. (For the next, say, two weeks.)
I'll try $105/$110 over the weekend.
My last PRICELINE bid was:
4*
USE: $70
USE+USW: $75
USE+USW+1 free rebid zone: $80
USE+USW+2 free rebid zones: $85
Now I'm looking at this screen:

I've checked my request and status, but my last bid hasn't gone through yet.
ETA:
Eventually, I was allowed to continue and I finished (unsuccessfully) with:
USE+USW+3 free rebid zones: $90
USE+USW+4 free rebid zones: $95
USE+USW+5 free rebid zones: $100
LMT: The Clift was $116 this morning in now it's $120. I expected the price to go down rather than up. :)
I'll try Priceline again later today.
Hi all,
My mom and I are starting off your trip through the west of the U.S. in San Francisco, and I've been trying to get a hotel room through PRICELINE since December. I've been patient, but now I'm starting to worry a little.
We're staying in San Francisco from September 24 - 27, and up until last week, I only tried getting a 3,5* hotel at Fisherman's Wharf, but I've changed my strategy. When I booked our plane tickets (we live in the Netherlands), I made sure there wasn't a beig convention going on in San Francisco, but since the prices or September 24- 27 are still pretty high, I'm not sure I checked the right websites...
Meanwhile, we would prefer staying in either Union Square East or West since most hotels there are close to the F-Line on Market Street. I hoped we could get a 4* hotel for about $85, but am I still likely to get that?
I've been looking at HOTWIRE and Last Minute Travel too, but no luck yet at that price.
So, in short:
USW, USW (or Financial District-Embarcadero)
4* (or 3,5)
approximately $85
My last PRICELINE bid was:
USE: $60
USE+USW: $65
USE+USW+Financial District: $65
USE+USW+Financial District+1 free rebid zone: $70
USE+USW+Financial District+2 free rebid zones: $75
USE+USW+Financial District+3 free rebid zones: $80
USE+USW+Financial District+4 free rebid zones: $85
USE+USW+Financial District+5 free rebid zones: $90
Thanks for reading this,
Linda
South San Francisco is a rebid zone as well!
Please help USW/USE 4* Sep 24-27

After another fruitless bidding session yesterday, I decided to book the 3* Powell Hotel at a rate of $117 (ex tax) on lastminutetravel.com. (It was $99 on Tuesday, but I wasn't desperate enough then. :) ) It's not exactly what I hoped to get for $117 (although the location seems perfect), but if something better comes along, I can still cancel it seven days prior to the 24th at a fee of $25. BEAV, your ID link is awesome.
