corster Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Looking to stay for 3 nights, checking in on 10/23/10, checking out on 10/26/10. Aiming for a 3.5* in Quebec (Zone 2)... max bid is going to be around $75.... if I don't get a property when I hit 75 then i'll either start bidding lower on 3* or go to HOTWIRE.HOTWIRE has a 3* property which matches up with the Best Western City Centre for $64.Right now I have the Best Western booked on a refundable published rate at $93 a night, which is my backup plan.Any suggestions where to start? I was thinking around $60 with 2 free re-bid zones.... Link to comment

corster Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Bid up from 64-75 with no luck on 3.5*Started again at $45 at 3*, got the aforementioned Best Western City Centre for $45 a night, which turns out to be $18 less than HOTWIRE and $50 a night less than my reservation direct through the hotel.Thanks for your assistance. That PRICELINE box on the top right hand corner of this site really helps when doing the sign in-sign out thing :) Link to comment
