nadmak Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi, I just joined and have been reading the tips on bidding. Does anyone know if you get a better deal (price oer night) by booking only one night stay as opposed to say a 3 nights stay? I really don't mind hotel hopping as long as I save money. So would booking 3 1 night stays save me more money than booking one 3 nights stay? Link to comment
nadmak Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi, just joined the forum! Great info!I need to find a 4* hotel in Toronto Downtonw North or South for the Aug 4-7 (3 nights). Would I get a better rate per night by booking 3 seperate nights with priceline or would it be the same as booking 1 stay of 3 nights. I really don't mind changing hotels. I just thought it might be easier to book a one night as opposed to a 3 night stay (better deal and better availability?)What do you think? Any suggestions on how to bid? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Typically you would split your bids if there was a major price difference change during your stay or if availability was tight, but all things being equal, it's usually not something which needs to be done for a 3 nites. Should you get accepted at the same price for all three nites (but different purchases) the booking total fee will actually be slightly more then if you booked all three nites in one purchase (but this is negligible and i wouldn't have it be a significant factor in your decision)If you let us know your maximum bid for this stay we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow, taking into consideration your desire/willingness to change hotels.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

nadmak Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks! Maximum bid would be $110 per night for 4*. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 In looking at this a bit closer i actually think you will do better booking this as a complete stay.At the 4* level in Toronto you have TEN 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* Downtown North and Downtown South...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 $120Any 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.
