I understand the rebid and zone process. That's how I got from $85 - $110 in my first round. Any thoughts on the odds of waiting a few days and starting the whole process over to get a lower rate or am I too close to the travel date to expect any better pricing, given what seems to be a busy time?

Sorry about providing too much info. At the time, I was trying to decide between Hotwire's 4* @ $128 and 3.5* @ $87 options. Since the 3.5* is no longer an option, that point is mute. Same goes for the $90 Hilton given that the dates are different than what I am seeking. Guess I'm just puzzled (and disappointed) that $110 wasn't sufficient for a 4* from Priceline given the info provided on prior posts as well as Priceline's own statement of a "Recent Deal" of $86. I'll probably try PL again since they seem to offer more 4* hotels and hope I can inch my way up to something slightly more than $110, but less than HW's $128. What do you think? Oct 8 - 11 must just be a very busy weekend in SF! Mega thx for your help!

As you know, Priceline list USE and Embarcadero together, and Hotwire lists Union Square seperate from Embarcadero. Here's the current breakdown on Hotwire Embarc 4.5* currently $204, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr, HS Inet Embarc 4* currently $128, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr Embarc 3.5* not currently shown (but was listed at $87 two days ago) Embarc 3* currently $118, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr, Pool, Spa, Laundry USE 4* currently $215, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr USE 3.5* currently $130, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr USE 3* currently $117, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr USW 4.5* currently $300, Rest, Fit Ctr, Bus Ctr USW 4* not currently listed USW 3.5* currently $100, Boutique, Rest, Bus Ctr USW 3* currently $93, Rest Based on the poster who got the Hilton at $90, perhaps I should add USW but I'm guessing that's a 4* and no longer available. SF must be hopping that weekend! I can't rebid on Priceline until later tonight. Based on current listings, it looks like I may have to go up to $125 to get a 4* or should I just grab the Hotwire 4* in Embarc for $128?

Many thanks for all the tips posted on this board, particularly the Rebid Strategy on Priceline. However, I just rebid from $85 - $110 in $5 increments and still did not get accepted for a 4* in the USE region. Also checked Hotwire where 4* is offered for $128, but I got the impression that that their 4* is not equivalent to Priceline's. Hotwire also had 3.5* for $87 but I didn't see any 3.5* hotels in the Hotwire hotel list on this board. 4.5* was offered at $204. Would greatly appreciate any advice or words of wisdom on how to proceed from here. Many thanks!
