Have won Trade winds grand 08/25/08-08/29/08$90 Won 4*tradewinds island Grand (treasureIsland) Clearwater Had first bid accepted @$90 for 4 nights Bid through BetterBidding PRICELINE link

Would have prefered not to pay the max for a 3* have booked a canclable back up T/L city road ,and yes all zones are ok

Followed suggestions no luck ,would not accept $160 think I had better try 3*

Thanks I will give that a go next 24hrs I got up to $143 only $177counter offer will try your stratergy tomorrow if that fails I will go down3* route Thanks Better Bidding

I am using your PRICELINE links for my enquiries I bid on zones: Bloomsbury Islington Mayfair kensington notting hill

I have now had a counter offer of $177 against my bid of $130 dont want to go higher than$160 ish would rather try for a 3" as we will not be spendong much time in the hotel I will have to start a re bid lower if I go down the 3*route please advise should I increase one more time before dropping a star ,feel I must be getting close to the price now

Think I may have idendtified one problem ,hadnt realised according to one friend it is the beginning of Wimbleden prices really soer at that time ,so thinking on those lines I will have to up my bid or go 3* and try different zones,to be in with any chance.

We can use other zones as long as they are near a tube ,also can split ,if we dont get may look travel lodge or a deal through other means ,as I have over 21days yet and the hotels seem to have vacancies as yet ,should I try another zone then split if I have to and should I keep the bidding same price or go up now.

I have been bidding on P/l via this site for a hotel in London 6/24-6/27 4* would like to be central as poss but have tried Bloomsbury and Islington up to $100 nothing coming up only an offer of around $277 a night any suggestions can raise my bid but a little advice wont go amiss thanks.
