WilliamK Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 First bid of $31 at 3.5* airport area was declined and countered with $46 which I declined and instead added nine other non-3.5* zones and re-bid with $2 increments and then $1 increments until $41 price accepted for same day booking. Since airport is also always cheaper than the other three zones with 3.5* hotels, I also used those zones too, for a total of thirteen possible bids, so I did two $2 increments and the rest as $1, knowing that my last bid would be for the $46 price I was countered with on my first bid and thus know I got the lowest possible price using this method.Used the PRICELINE link to begin my biddingRenaissance Charlotte Suites 3 Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you're pleased with the results. Do note that while the Airport zone is usually cheaper than other zones, there are times when others have employed such strategies and ended up in a zone where they 'knew' it would be cheaper then the zone they really wanted. To use such a strategy i think you need to at least be open to the idea of staying in the 'other' zones you're adding. All in all, glad to see it worked out for you.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. Enjoy your stay.
