SpykeYs Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Yellowdog,Thanks for helping.The VA Beach Area is the only one we are willing to stay as we would prefer to be with walking distance to the beach.I am willing to go up to ~125 a night per roomsIs this realistic ?Last year thru your help I managed to get the Doubletree for 100$ a night. Hopefully I can get something closer to the beach this time.Another option at ~60$ would be Norfolk. Last year I also stayed at the Holiday Inn Exec Centre for 60$, but would prefer the VA Beach area.Any help would be appreciated, I will use your PRICELINE links once I book.Thanks so much!

thereuare Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 At the 3* level in this region you have THREE 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.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 3* Virginia Beach...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Virginia Beach and re-bid zone2...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Virginia Beach and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Virginia Beach and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $125Any 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.

SpykeYs Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks for the help!All were unsucessful.As it will proberbly be peek season, should I wait 1-2 weeks prior to my arrival to book ? Maybe they will lower their price to sell last minute rooms.. ?Thanks,SpykeYs Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'd at least keep trying every few days, as if traffic stays high, there's certainly a chance that prices could ramp higher. While waiting until the last minute does work at times, if there's something going on during these dates, prices may stay around these levels or head higher.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
