thereuare Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!So that we don't suggest a strategy which goes higher than you're willing to bid, what is your maximum bid for this stay?Also, is there a reason you're avoiding the CPS and/or TS zones, as these are often bid with the zones above as they are considered by most to be just as convenient (and on an expensive nite such as this may increase your chances of success by giving more hotels the opportunity to accept your bid)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

SoP Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Posted April 30, 2010 I'm open to suggestion, CPS could be one of our choices. Maximum is around $160, I guess? Im new here, please bear w/ me...thx a lot.
thereuare Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Based upon current rates, my guess is that $160 will not likely be enough for a 4* hotel for your dates above. However, with time on your hands we can certainly give it a try and then weigh your options from there.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* MTE, MTW, TS and CPS (if you decide CPS is acceptable)...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* ESB...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE, MTW, TS, ESB and CPS (if you decide CPS is acceptable)...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160Any 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.
