Getaway Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Hi there, I'm posting for a friend who is looking for a 4* Hotel in USE from 1/16 to 1/21. Max $80 (if possible). Saw a bid for Le Meridien around the same period for $91.Appreciate a bidding strategy!Thanks!
thereuare Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 I don't think that $80 is going to be enough for this stay, but if your friend wants to give it a try:PLEASE ask your friend to stop by the board and click the PRICELINE link on the top right of the board to begin his/her bidding.At the 4* level there are FIVE 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.Select 4* USE...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Please be sure to follow-up and let us know know how it goes.

Getaway Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Posted January 6, 2011 Okay so $80 didn't get anything, but $100 got them the Sheraton at Fisherman's Wharf instead. They changed their mind about USE in the end. Tried $75 for 3.5* at Fisherman's Wharf, but couldn't get anything. Not sure why, considering there were a few successful bids around this region at this property for the same period. Thanks nonetheless! :)
thereuare Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Thank you for sharing and posting this win to the board.While lower bids may have been accepted for dates around this same time, or even for a few dates within the date range of this win, rates really are date specific and the inclusion/omission of even just one day can effect rates and the amount needed for a successful bid.Hope your friend is happy with the deal they received and their experience using PRICELINE.Hope they enjoy their stay.
