Bidding On a car in Providence, RI. Where do I start? Should I just discount what I see being listed on sites like Orbitz or Kayak? Thanks

Can you please help me identify the following NYC hotels if possible. Thanks in advance Empire State Building area hotel : Smoke Free, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High speed Internet, (Free Internet) with an 80% recommendation. (current price $156) Midtown Central area hotel : Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High speed internet access with 80% recommendation

I am looking for A NYC hotel for 8/24-8/26. Would like something 4* if possible. Anywhere in Manhattan would be acceptable. Does this look like a reasonable price or is it far off? Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Regards

I used the PRICELINE link to bid on a 4* in downtown Miami for 2 nights December 1-December 3. My initial bid was $75 and it was accepted right away. I got the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Miami. Total amount for my stay is $150 for the room plus $29.02 in taxes for a grand total of $179.02. Since I had 6 rebid zones, I wish I had started my first bid lower, but very happy with the deal regardless. Going rate at time of bid on Orbitz was $202 per night with taxes... Please let me know if I should post any additional information. Thanks everyone for the assistance. Regards

Thanks for your response. Just to make sure, I thinkt he rebid zones are as follows. Aventura, Dadeland, Miami Lakes, Miami West, North Miami, Southwest Miami. To obtain them I just went location by location to see which areas (besides Downtown Miami) do no the 4* option enabled. Is that the proper way to figure out the rebid zones? Thanks

Previous Tampa Post is now updated. Thanks

Thanks. I appreciated your help at the time and was going to try it. However, my trip fell through. Was going to a baseball game and didnt end up getting tickets. Sorry for not updating initially. Regards.

Could someone please assist me with a strategy to bid on a 3.5-4 star Hotel in Downtown Miami. I am looking to stay for 2 nights from Dec 1-Dec 3. I would like to spend about $100 per night but would go up to $115 for a 4 star. Not sure if this is unreasonable or not. It seems there were a few hotels in this star range for about $the $150 range being offered on side step. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Need Hotel in Tampa in YBOR City or Tropicana Field for 4/10/10 for one night. Rating of 3 or higher. Not concerned that much as I just want to spend around $50 a night. Will basically be arriving late and leaving early. Any suggestions on strategy. Any help ASAP would be appreciated. Thanks

Excellent instructions. Using the PRICELINE link, I first tried $60 and it was rejected. I added my rebid zone and tried $65 and it was accepted. I got the Gran Melia for $65/night. This worked out perfect. My total price for 2 nights comes to $157. Initially I was going to book this same hotel using Orbitz for $135/night. Its like I got the second night free using PRICELINE! Thanks for all your help.

In your example I guess I would like to have the opportunity to get the resort for $60 first.

Thanks for your response and assistance. Based on the fact that I saw a recent (Jan 6th) winning bid of $62 for the Gran Melia I would like to get a 5* or resort grade hotel for no more than $100 total incl taxes, if possible. I would like to start out with a bid for a 5*. In the end, my ultimate goal is to get something equivalent or better than my next best option (booking Gran Melia for $135 inc tax elsewhere). I guess that is a complicated way of saying my target is about $100 but my max would be $135 because this is what I would have to go with without priceline. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards

Right now my best option is to book the Gran Melia for about $135. I saw winning bids for about $65 for the Gran Melia which I was hoping to get but if I could get something better that would be good. My max for a 5* I would say would be the $135 that I am thinking about booking at the Gran Melia.

Thank you very much for answering that for me. I want to bid on a hotel in Cancun. I already have something booked in Tulum from 2/25/10-2/28/10 and want to continue my stay in Cancun for 2 days, from 2/28/10-3/2/10. I would like at least a 4 star. Without PRICELINE I was going to book the Gran Melia for $119. Any bidding tips, suggestions or strategy would be greatly appreciated.

I am reading some of the posts of winning bids i.e $65 for Cancun Hotel. I am about to bid myself and wanted to know if the winning bids that people post include taxes? Should I put in $65 as my price and let priceline add the taxes or should I adjust my bid so that the amount including taxes is $65. Thanks
