  4. This was a last minute bid for tonight -- 3 nights total. Started bidding at $65 in $5 increments. Accepted at $75 using the PRICELINE link. Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport San Francisco Airport (SFO) 1333 Bayshore Highway Burlingame, California 94010 650-347-1234 Check-In Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2008 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Mon, Oct 20, 2008 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $75.00 Subtotal: $225.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $41.16 Total Charges*: $266.16
  5. Success at $145 (bidding for a 3*) with an upgrade to a 4* in OQW. As always, I used the PRICELINE link. Thank you for your help :) Hotel Concorde La Fayette Champs Elysees - Opera Quarter West 3 Place Du General Koenig Paris, France 33 1 40 68 50 50 Check-In Date: Tue, Oct 7, 2008 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Mon, Oct 13, 2008 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$145.00 Subtotal: US$870.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$78.50 Total Charges: US$948.50 ________________ Bid History: Previous rejected 3* bids for the 3 zones over the last couple of days = $125, $128, $135, $141 Started bidding today at $145. When bidding $145 in Latin, still got counteroffer of $188. When bidding $145 in OQE got a never before seen counteroffer of $192. Bid $145 for OQW and was successful. Priceline automatically upgraded to 4* Hotel Concorde La Fayette. Hope this helps anyone else trying to secure these dates.
  6. Hello. Sorry for the typo. OQS = OQW. I got a counteroffer of $188 when I bid $106 in Latin. I closed the browser and bid $106 in OQE with no counteroffer. I closed the browser and bid $106 in OQW and got a counteroffer of $170. Suprisingly, no counteroffers at the higher bids when using a mix of combined zones. Bid History following that point: OQE + Latin = $117 OQE + OQW = $117 OQE+Latin+OQW = $121 I guess I could have also used OQW+Latin as another rebid, but was short on time.
  7. Updates: Added OQW as a potential zone. Also trying to keep max bid including fees and taxes below $170/night now. Rejected at $106, 117, and 121. When bidding 106 in Latin, got counter offer of 188. When bidding 106 in OQS, got counter offer of 170. Should I consider splitting stay dates as I ramp up to the $150 mark or stay the course? If I do consider splitting dates, is it usually better to separate the weekend dates from weekday? I didn't see much of a price difference looking up the dates individually.
  8. You're right.... to play it safe, I'll stick to my original 2 zones -- OQE and Latin Quarter.
  9. Ok.... I was rejected at $131 for a 3*. I decided to book a partially cancellable reservation in the nearby town of Villefranche-sur-mer. This will most likely end my PRICELINE bidding for this area. Thank you for your help.
  10. Thanks for your help! As for 3* hotel zones I'm thinking of keeping the same original two zones (OQE and Latin Qtr) and adding Eiffel Tower, unless you think I might get something way outside of the city center.
  11. Rejected at $151, 161, 165, 170 for 4*. Any suggestions? Willing to accept 3* now with max bid $170. Also, potential hotwire hotels someone might be able to help me identify as desperation sinks in: 3-star hotel in Eiffel Tower - Mus
  12. Okay.... Rejected at $131 and $135 for 4* Rejected at $121 for 3* I'm willing to increase my max bid for a 3* to $131 (by tomorrow). Based on current rates, do you guys think my max bid is too low?
  13. Hi Folks! Used the link and got the Stucky. First bid $211 and got counteroffer. 2nd bid of $222 accepted. Thank you for your help.

  14. Hello. Not willing to buy on Hotwire yet, but just curious as to what they're offering. I like to use the HOTWIRE listings to judge the "spread" between priceline wins for my desired areas versus what Hotwire is able to offer at the current time. This knowledge is helpful since the star ratings and hotel offerings between PRICELINE and HOTWIRE differ. A few times I've been unsuccessful with my priceline bidding and have purchased using Hotwire so a desired hotel wouldn't be lost.
  15. As always, thank you for your help. No luck yet with the bids, but I'm hoping a strengthening dollar will only help over time. I was also wondering if anyone could possibly identify the following Paris Hotwire hotels: 1. 3-star hotel in Eiffel Tower - Mus
  16. Requesting bidding strategy for 4* in Nice, FR. Dates: 10/1 - 10/5 (4 nights). Willing to split stay if necessary, but would prefer not to. Max bid: $135 Thanks!
  17. Requesting bidding strategy for Venice, Italy. Dates 10/5/08 to 10/7/08. (2 nights) Max bid: $200 (will be willing to increase this to $250 if unsuccessful after July) Zone: Venice Hotel rating: 5* preferred. Will accept 4* using same max bid. Thanks!
  18. Hi All, Its been a while since I've been on here, and I'm glad to see some of the old familiar names that have helped me tremendously in the past. I'll need a bidding strategy for a 4* in Paris from Oct. 7 to Oct. 13 (6 nights). I've got a cancellable backup for 6 nights in the 4th Arr. for 110 euro/night. I'm willing to split my stay, but would prefer not to. Max bid = $170 Zones #1 - Latin Qtr. #2 - OQE Thanks!

  20. Can someone help me identify the following 2* Hotwire hotels? The prices on both were for $29 - 1 adult -- which was too good of deal not to inquire about. 2* Hotel - West Des Moines - Clive Amenities: Suite, Fitness Center, Laundry Facilities 2* Hotel - Northwest Des Moines - Urbandale Amenities: Laundry Facilities Thanks.....
  21. Thanks... Based on what you said, I'll probably just be bidding in West Des Moines. I'll update the board when I have a win.
  22. Hi, I'm requesting bidding assistance for a 2.5* or 3* hotel in West Des Moines with a max bid of $60 = Choice #1. I'm also willing to stay in Merle Hay 2.5* - same max bid of $60 = Choice #2. Please help me with a bidding strategy. Thank you.
  23. If anyone is looking to use priceline for the Riviera Maya area on these dates, my last failed bids were: $120 and $125 for Resort level $100 and $105 for 4*
  24. Amenities: Resort Beachfront Boutique Hotel Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Oh, and this hotel is in the Riviera Maya area. Not the Cancun hotel zone.
