jc95035 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've been unsuccessfully bidding on PL for the following:3.5* Orange County (Buena Park - Cerritos - Cypress) Cerritos Sheraton 7/22/09-7/26/09I started at $45 and over the past few days went as high as $60 in $5 increments, as well as adding other zones (with less than 3.5*). At $60, I was told that I would get the room by adding $17 to my bid. (I didn't accept this offer)Am I bidding too low? Please advice.Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!To clarify, and avoid any potential disappointment, you're not bidding specifically on the Sheraton... you could receive any 3.5* property in the zone. While the Sheraton is currently the only reported hotel at this star level in this zone, there could be others.With this noted, hotel direct rates at the Sheraton start at $138/nite for your dates above, so your bids are still less than half of a conventionally booked room. What is your maximum bid for this stay?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
