Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Boston (Copley Square-Theatre District) Sheraton

[amoredessert]

First bidding on Aug 24 for 3.5* from $80 to $110 +10 bonus ($5 incremental bids) using rebid zones. Rejected. Target zones were Quincy-Faneuil-Financial, Copley Square and Boston Harbor Front. Tried again today using the same bids. Rejected again. From reading other posts I got the impression that bidding on all 7 nights might be more difficult to get a low price so I broke up the dates and bid as follows:

9/18 to 9/21 (REJECTED):

4* $80 +10 bonus

4* $85 +10 bonus

3.5* $90 +10 bonus

$95 +10 bonus

$98 +10 bonus

$100 +10 bonus

$103 +10 bonus

$108 +10 bonus

$111 +10 bonus

9/18 to 9/22 (REJECTED):

3.5* $80 to $115 +10 bonus ($5 incremental bids)

Was tired of bidding so up starting bid to $90 to end at $125 +10 bonus. There are prior wins ranging from $131 to $135 so I felt my chances were good at being accepted.

9/18 to 9/23:

3.5* $90 to $125 +10 bonus ($5 incremental bids)

ACCEPTED at $125 + $10 bonus = $135

Still needed room for remaining two nights. Did the same bid and was accepted again at $125 +10 bonus.

This probably wasn't the best approach but luckily got the same hotel for the last 2 nights and won't have to change hotels during stay. In hindsight, I probably should have bid for 9/18-9/20 and 9/20-9/25. Might have been able to get 9/18-9/20 for $110 (based on someone's win for these dates) but figure not worth the trouble for the $ difference.

Hope this information is useful.
