glass1230 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 I am planning a trip to Los Angeles this month December 26-29 and would like to use Priceline for a 5* hotel in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood.Do any BetterBidding users have any suggestions for a Priceline strategy to pay a maximum $175 per night?Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
thereuare Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Will there ever be a follow-up to your Priceline South Beach bidding? :)Please remember to follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing for the stay, even if you choose to book direct, cancel your trip, etc.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 At the 5* level you have EIGHT 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.With little/no bidding history at the 5* level in this zone, and a little time on your hands, i'd begin as follows:Select 5* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130Any questions feel free to ask. If rejected just post back and we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

glass1230 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Posted December 9, 2010 I tried the suggested strategy and PRICELINE did not accept the bid(s).Any thoughts on next steps to get the 5* PRICELINE hotel in Beverley Hills/West Hollywood?Thanks.

glass1230 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Posted December 10, 2010 Yes it is.(I had entered the dates in the subject title, but I think they were truncated as the title was very long)
AaronJB Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 My guess for the 4.5* HOTWIRE listing would be the Sofitel.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
glass1230 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Posted December 10, 2010 Yes it was the Sofitel - got it for $175/night through the BetterBidding link to HOTWIRE.
