  1. The flight arrives at 7:30pm and the departure flight leaves at 8pm. All the companies listed for the bidding have really high prices. Thanks for your help.
  2. I'm trying to book a car on Priceline from 7/8 to 7/12. When I had the pick up and drop off time as noon, Fox has 22 per day. But when I changed it to 7pm, Fox became 26/day and the lowest is EZ RENT A CAR (21/day). I'm thinking of biding at 18 or 16 maybe, but was worried I might get a car from the EZ RENT A CAR. Does this company usually take bidding? I'm fine with Fox, but really don't want the EZ company. Thanks a lot.
  3. I was about to book the $134 deal on Hotwire from 4/7 to 4/10, but thought I would try one last time on priceline. Used the similar strategy you suggested and started from $90, went up to 115 and got a deal!!! It's Sheraton! Thank you so much for your help!!! And for the first night, I'll try to bid some place near the airport. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you!!! Of course I used the PRICELINE link from here. :)
  4. Thank you for your help. That's pretty good deal too. It's just I'm still trying to cut the budget as much as possible. I want to wait a couple of days and see if any express deals of lower star levels would show up. Worst comes to worst, I'm thinking of staying at a hotel out of those zones I was looking at and rent a car for transportation. This may sound crazy, but I'm thinking the hotel price in downtown area may be even higher hotels in other areas plus a car. I'm still debating. Really hope a good deal shows up.
  5. It didn't work out.:( I couldn't find the express deal of 3.5 star in downtown today, but I tried anyway. Went to 105 and didn't get a deal. I also tried only downtown and convention center with star level from 3 to 1 and price went up to 90. Didn't work out either. Priceline showed the median price is 100. I'll probably try it again tomorrow and hope the express deal would show up again. Thanks.
  6. Hi, I'm following your strategy to bid. After I submitted $90/nite for downtown, there is a message showed up on the page saying "Your new request has been received and reviewed. Please check back in 15 min to see whether we have a deal......". There is only a "HOME" button on the page. I've never seen such a message. Should I start over again? Or should I submit the same bid in 15 min? Thanks. :)
  7. Thanks a lot for the strategy. I just want to double check, the two rebid zones are New Orleans west bank and new orleans east, right? Thank you.
  8. The deal went up to $129/nite. I'm thinking $105 as the maximum bid. For Downtown and convention center zones any star level would be fine. For French Quarter, I only want to try 4* or 3.5*. Thanks a lot.
  9. I just read the splitting post. Yes, I'm thinking of splitting the bid. I tried before. It was $87 for a 4* and $70 for a 3.5*, but didn't get a deal. With the express deal at $119 for 4/7-4/10, what would be a good price for bidding this one? Thank you. :)
  10. There is one PRICELINE EXPRESS deal from 4/7-4/10 at 119 for a 3.5* that's still there. Not any other good ones. At this point, any star level would be fine for me. Max bid, 85? (Is it too low even for 1* ?) Zones are convention center, downtown and French quarter. I want to try these first. Does it sound feasible? Thank you. :) I don't see that many winning bids for Apr on the updates. Do you think I should wait a little bit? Thank you.
  11. About 60 or 70. I don't really care that much about the star levels. It's just I have seen better deals for 4* than the lower ones and sometimes even lower price and better chance that I started bidding on the 4*. I'm fine with a 2.5 * or 3* level. Thanks.
  12. I have been trying to book a room from 4/6- 4/10 in New Orleans for a week. Downtown, convention center and French quarter have all been chosen and the highest price I offered for a 4* hotel was 95, but still didn't get a deal. Also tried all star levels for 83, but no deal. Best PRICELINE EXPRESS deal shows about 120 for a 3.5 star hotel. I noticed there is a NCAA meeting going on that week. Should I go ahead buy the express deal or wait a little bit longer? I imagine the meeting people would probably book the 4* hotels, do you think the lower end hotels will have a price cut later on? PRICELINE has been sending me emails with express deals like 120 per night for a 4* hotel, but when I click the link, there won't be a good one as that. Have I missed the deal or they just don't actually have it? Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
