However, as per your posts above, isn't thin property over your stated budget?Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Sara Sue Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes, the HOTWIRE price 119 is more than we'd like to pay, however our family that is meeting us in San Francisco from Arizona are staying there so the thought of staying there or the possibility of such for that price as it's over priced everywhere else was a thought. Ultimately, we'd like the best deal we can get on a 3* or above property in USE or USW. I tried earlier to bid, highest bid 65 to no avail. There aren't as many rebid zones for SF as other cities, so I figured I better ask the experts. Thanks again for the help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm assuming your $65 bid just about took you up to your $85 all-in limit... so what is your gameplan from here?Are you going to wait it out and try again, increase your budget for a 3*, go for the HOTWIRE offer, try for a 4* on PRICELINE, etc?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Please advise a strategy. Thanks. Link to comment

I tried earlier to bid, highest bid 65 to no avail.Earlier today another bidder, slats77, won your dates at the 3* Galleria Park in USE for $70. Would you bid $5 more?Also is one bed enough? Priceline only guarantees double occupancy, which could be a room with one bed. If you need two beds bidding 3* in these zones is a gamble. Link to comment

Colfax Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well then bid $5 more! :) You only have one rebid zone for 3*, which is Marina-Lombard.When your 24 hour lockout is over try $68 for 3* in USE & USW. Add Marina at $70.PRICELINE Link to comment
