Love the new feature! It worked. I just made my first Hotwire HotDeal booking and got Park City London for 6 nights @$700 (with the 10% discount). Thank you so much! Sorry about your football team .Have a great weekend.

THanks for explanation thereuare. I am seeing The ParkCity London for $155 for entire stay or could be 1 of 3 in the HotDeal for $122. Was it in the HotDeal where you saw it for $122/night?

No deal. Do I try again later increasing my budget? I've never used Hotwire, but given there is 4* for $119, does that indicate i won't get it for much less? As always, thanks for your help and have a good day.

I can split up the entire stay (Tues 12/10- Mon 12/16) in any combination. Mercure looks good, so i guess that can be my fallback if bidding isn't successful. I would like to lower my bid to be $100 Thanks again.

Looking for help on NYOP Priceline. Zones The City, Westminster, Kensington, Mayfair. Budget is $125. Happy to break up my week stay (12/10-12/16). THanks.

My bids did not work. I could expand my budget to $160/night? Please provide bid strategy. Thanks!

Ah, i had used the Retail side. I've re-done it using 'bidding' side and now see 9 zones that enable me the free rebids. I will try now. Thanks

Thanks! You mentioned 8 free rebid zones for NYC. I'm looking in London (not NYC) and only see 5 re-bid zones when i looked on priceline for 4* London. 1. Clapham. 2. Finchley, 3. NW London Harrow, 4. S London Sutton and 5. Southall. Do you agree with my listing? Thanks.

Hi, Wondering if you can help me with bidding please. I am looking for 4* for 2 nights, June 8 and June 9, 2016. My budget it $125. Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. That worked! I just won Park Plaza Riverbank for $125/night. Thanks!

I just tried to look up my zones in Priceline. I only found 1 free re-bid zone, E. London as it does not have any 4*. Here's the list of zones with 4*. I also selected the individual zones (without 4* selected) and got the same : Financial District - Downtown(16) Bloomsbury - Marylebone - Soho(69) Westminster(16) Kensington - Knightsbridge - Chelsea(51) Regents Park - Maida Vale(6) Paddington - Bayswater - Notting Hill(31) Hammersmith(9) London Bridge - Southwark - Vauxhall(13) Docklands(19) Finsbury(12) East London(0) What am I doing wrong as I couldn't find the 3 free re-bid zones. As always, thanks very much.

Hi, Last minute trip to London and will be looking for a stay on weekend of 12/11/15 (2 nights). Preferred zones are Mayfair/Soho and Westminster. Budget is $150/night. Not sure if it's realistic but can you please suggest a bidding strategy? Thanks!

Unfortunately, I did not win the bid (and instead of $140, went to $150). Thanks for your help.

As high as $140. Otherwise, I'll just book online. Thanks

i have only a few opportunities tonight - maybe 3, 4 tops. Are you aware of other 3* hotels that for Priceline? Thanks for the edit and help.

Sorry - It's for 6/6/15. Typo in Title. I can accept other 3* hotels but didn't see them listed so assumed the only hotel was Hotel Ithaca. Thanks!

Do I do anything differently if bidding for a hotel for tomorrow night? If I don't win bid I probably can't wait to bid again in 24 hours. Looking for Hotel Ithaca (which looks to be the 3* Downtown on list of hotels for Priceline). I can book a room on their website (AAA) for $161. Is $100 reasonable to bid? Any help is appreciated.Thanks

Quick hotel review. The room was newly redecorated, very nice! All the amenities including nice linens, shower/bathroom. It is a large hotel...airline personnel and tour groups were staying there. A few dining options but food in the irish pub was only fair. The Hoppa bus worked well. As recommended on this site, I always provide my frequent stay membership upon checking (for any room charges) and was rewarded with extra points or free alcoholic drink at any of their establishments. Can easily recommend the hotel.

Success. I got Holiday Inn (M4 Junction 4) for $85.00 (Heathrown North area). Just looked online for a room there and it was 104 GBP (@ $175)! Checked the Hoppa Bus schedule and it runs every 30 minutes - all good. Thank you so much for your help.

Sorry for the untimely delay, am back, ready to try to bid again. I could go as high at $105, as you suggest. Thanks!

No luck on this. Should I wait and try same strategy again or up my budget? Thanks!

Yes, I'll take my chances - I would "think" most airport hotels are either quick taxi or serviced by Hoppa Bus - routes seem extensive. Yes, please provide a strategy for South Heathrow and North Heathrow zones. Thanks again!.

Hi again, All of the hotels listed in your zones, except for one in SLough, are serviced by Hoppa Bus. I got on their website earlier. So as long as I only bid in North Heathrow and S. Heathrow zones, I will be at a hotel serviced by Hoppa Bus. There are additional zones on Price.line website though (I searched their non-bidding site), so would I check those as well (against the hoppa bus)? Thanks!

Hi, I'm unsure of your zone question - North Heathrow, Slough or South Heathrow as listed on your betterbidding hotel list? I just researched all hotels on your list for these zones... It looks like I cannot get to/from Copthorne Slough Windsor via shuttle bus, so I would only like North Heathrow and South Heathrow. In looking at the bidding zones on Price.line, they have more zones so should I research those zones/hotels? Max bid is $75. Thanks!

Oops - can this please be moved to the PL forum? Thanks
