wentworth99 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi there, Mr T and helpers.Site is still great and y'all seem very friendly unlike that other bunch - why do people still use her when she's so grumpy?Anyway, hope all is well and I shall try and be less controversial now! I was wondering if you could suggest or allay my fears.Have been bidding on and off recently for above stay as agent rates seem quite high and we don't want to pay that, do we! Travel agents want everything for nothing.Yesterday I bid from about $110 a night right upto $160 with no luck, using your link and free rebids.Any suggestions? Don't really want to go to 4* as I know I'll get the bleeding Cosmo - been there enough!Would rather get it for under $200 a night but am I being realistic?Thanks in advance,William Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 While we have seen 5* hotels in this area go for ~$160, this is near the bottom of the range of previously reported wins and it usually take a bit more. I'm seeing rates for your dates in the mid-$300's, so this may be tough a tough win, but with a $200 maximum bid and FOUR available re-bid zones (Priceline Re-Bidding Explained), i would try as follows:Select 5* Tsim Sha Tsui...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone... (yes, skipping $160 is correct, not a typo)Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* West Honk Kong Island...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...

wentworth99 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Good evening,Thank you for all of that. What a clever system and dead impressed. I hope you've earnt a fortune through all my click-throughs tonight!Anyway, no dice - got excited at about $190 when it asked me to check back in 15 mins but still nothing.Went all the way upto $200 but still nothing.Thoughts? Did try PL HK but they've changed the system since I last used it and you cannot just keep adding $5 - shame!Thanks.William Link to comment
