Followed thereuare's bidding strategy outlined above every 3-4 days increasing the bid amounts by 5 dollars each cycle through. Stopped bidding at maximum $120.00 when Tavelzoo posted a special at the Whitehall for $109.00 per night. In other words, I chickened out. :) For those of you who are braver than I am, this appears to be a cancellable rate directly with the hotel. I thought about holding out for my original goal...but just couldn't force myself to push my luck. :) The link to the T-Z promotion is http://dir.travelzoo.com/Lodging.asp?intCa...ry=21&id=184890 Also, for what it's worth, I faithfully went through savingsbarn.com to make my bids at Price Line, and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks for the great site. Brian

River North -1st, NMA -2nd and Loop-3rd.

That's why I asked the question about technique. The only acceptable zones are the ones I listed, but there is slight variance in preferance between the three zones...just not a lot. Price is more important than location within these three zones. The way I see it, if I bid each of those three zones separately, I run the risk of overbidding. Right now I'm hoping to get the rooms for $100.00 or less per night.

Am looking to use priceline for the above dates and areas. I think I've got the free rebids down. My question is about technique. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to including all three areas in my first bid? (Which I think would give me 4 bids total). Or should, I weight the three areas by preference, and then add each subsequently preferable area for additional rebids. Did this question make sense?
