lida1111 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have been bidding for the past 3 days for a weekend in April, San Diego (Downtown and Harbour Island). I did my research and found that most of the bids accepted for 4 star was $60 to $75.00 for that area, not specifically the time I want. I started the bidding at $60 for a 4 star, was rejected, tried for a 3.5 star, rejected again, bid the next day $65, for both 4 and 3.5, rejected again, bid $70 and rejected again. Tomorrow I'll try $75.00, but I was wondering, maybe I'm too early. Maybe the hotels hold out until closer to the time to let them go for less. Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks. And of course I use the link on this site to bid on PRICELINE. Link to comment

yellowdog Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I looked at the rates for your date and i can see anything strange for your stay. If feels like $70-$75 would cut it for you.Did you try $75?Yellowdog. Link to comment
lida1111 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hi I just tried $75 and was rejected on both the 4 and then the 3.5 star hotels. Well I'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sorry to see this :) But i wouldn't go higher then $75 unless you really need to have something booked now. I might just be to early.Keep us updated or just post if you need any help.Yellowdog. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 If you do want to get this done and settled i think another $2-3 may be the difference between success/failure at the moment.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lida1111 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Well, I have been bidding and bidding but to no avail. Finally I got Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina for $88 a night April 8 to April 10/11. I think that because there are going to be 5 cruise ships in around that time, that is why I had so much trouble and the price was higher than I'm used to paying. I'm OK with the hotel, I would have preferred something in town but the tour will pick us up at the hotel so all is not lost. Link to comment
