maumanz Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Guys,I will stay in San Francisco from 8/8 to 8/10 without a car. As I have never been to SF I am not sure about the areas I should bid on. I think every of these should be ok: Civic Center South, Financial District, Fishermans Warf, Japan Town, Marina, San Mateo, Union Square West and East...It woud be great if I could get a 4* Hotel at any of these areas for 125$ or lessIf this isn't possible, i would go for a lower rated Hotel at 100$ or lessAny suggestions?

thereuare Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Of the zones you've listed, only Financial District, San Mateo, USE and USW offer 4* bidding. There are others on the board who are more local to the San Francisco market then i am and can confirm, but i don't San Mateo is where you want to be without a car, if your goal is to explore Downtown.I think a 4* at $125 or less may be difficult for these dates, but if you want to bid the zones above (without San Mateo, you can always add it later if others think you should include it) you can try as follows:At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* USE and USE...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Financial...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and USE and Financial...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Colfax Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 SOMA-Moscone is a convenient zone without a car too, and several nice 4* there. Maybe you omitted that zone on purpose. I'm just mentioning it in case you weren't aware. Link to comment

I'm just mentioning it in case you weren't aware.No, San Mateo shouldn't be on my list, it was a mistake, it should have been SOMA. @ thereuareThank you very much for you help. I will try this today Link to comment

thereuare Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yes, you have your re-bid zones correct, but always double check them just before bidding.With you also bidding SOMA i would change the bidding slightly as follows:Select 4* USE and USW...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Financial and SOMA...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and Financial...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USW and SOMA...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and SOMA...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Financial and USW...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and USE and Financial...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
