Priceline Hotel: 4* Los Angeles (Beverly Hills-West Hollywood) Hyatt Century Plaza

[westcoastbidder]

Started with 4* in Beverly Hills - West Hollywood at $95, rejected

Added Brentwood - Westwood, up'ed offer to $110, got accepted.

Maybe I should up'ed it to $100 maybe. Given the short notice, I didn't want to take chance with re-bid tomorrow.

Anyway, I am happy because this still looks like a good deal compared to HotWire which had 4* for $168, and of course the rate is much higher $269 on Hyatt website.

What do you guys think? Any advise to help improve the bidding are welcome.

Congratulations on your success!

You didn't say if $95 was your first bid or not, but if it was, you had THREE re-bid zones available to try to gradually increase your bids to the $110 mark (ie - $100, $105, $110 using one re-bid zones each time). If you're not familiar with re-bidding see this thread, Priceline Re-Bidding Explained.

If you didn't have re-bid zones available, or even if you did, i think the $110/nite is a great deal... in my book anytime you can save more than 50% it's a great deal, and when i can save ~$100, i tend not to get too concerned whether it's $95 or $105 :)
