Priceline Hotel: 4* San Francisco (USW) Renaissance Parc 55

[keno]

I started bidding for SF (USW) 4* at $68.

Added Civic Center for $70

Added Cathedral Hill for $72

Added Boutique for $75

Any suggestions for further bidding? I am willing to go up a few more dollars, but I was wondering if I should just start a new bid from scratch.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I think you will have success between $75-$90 if you choose to continue that high.

You have (at least) 3 re-bid zones left when bidding 4* for USW, this is how i would proceed:

4* USW and re-bid zone1...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone3...

Bid $90.

If the above doesn't work then i believe it is an access to inventory issue and not a low bid issue... i would then try again in a week (starting back over at your original bid). I would not lower to a Boutique level, and the way you did it is quite risky, as is explained here: If You Lower Your Quality Level, Then Lower Your Price.

Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out.

Good Luck.
