KittCat84 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hello,I am brand new to Priceline, but interested in getting a good rate on the Philadelphia 3.5* Marriott Airport hotel. Any suggestions on how to snag this hotel?? We need one night (Oct. 1st to 2nd), 1 room for 2 people.Thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)There is no way to ensure a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE (and a 3.5* bid may be upgraded to 4*.) Are you only interested in the Marriott, or would you accept other properties in the zone?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

KittCat84 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I would consider other hotels in the area. We're looking for one night to stay over before our early morning flight. I'd prefer something of 3.5 or 4* quality. Is it better to wait until closer to the date we are staying? Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 As far as when to bid, see the related 'bid early or close to arrival' link in our PRICELINE FAQ.What is your expected budget for this stay? Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this nite?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

KittCat84 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for the info.I am looking for the least expensive 3.5* or higher for the night. I gave $70 a try on the Name Your Own Price, but it was rejected. Link to comment
