ladybugsea Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Tried 4* Monterey up to $100, then switched to 3.5*, started at $70 with immediate counter offer to go up to $85, I declined and then bid $80 (I should have started with $75, don't know what I was thinking), got Portola Hotel & Spa At Monterey Bay. Very pleased, great reviews, looks lovely and looks like it's a 4* on TA. Bid through the PRICELINE link of course. Thanks to all the help and strategies that I found for Monterey in this thread: Monterey Priceline Link to comment

pujianping Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 You $80 bid is excellent, after seeing your post, I bid a different day 10/17, and was offered $85 also, and I did not get anything at my final bid of $78. Link to comment
ladybugsea Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Too bad, maybe $80 was the magic number after all! Good luck on your future bidding. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Rates vary quite a bit by dates (traffic, etc.) and $80 really could have been the best number for these dates, but the number for a day or week later could be very different. Bidding, especially in moderate-to-major markets, is really often a case-by-case situation.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Link to comment
