zclord Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 bid 4* up to 90 and 5* up to 95 failed again... it's almost close to my budget. hotwire shows 4 star Singapore - Central area Hotel $100 will wait several days and see, if PRICELINE $100 still can not then choose HOTWIRE.... :) Link to comment

zclord Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 bid 4* up to 90 and 5* up to 100 in all the areas failed again... hotwire shows Mar/6/11 - Mar/8 4 star Singapore - Central area Hotel $101 ,but Mar6-7 is 99 but Mar/7-8 does not show this room. 6/Mar is Sunday, and 7/Mar is monday , whether I should seperate it into 2 days to bid? and I know that not easy to extend next stay at the same rate. caught in trouble now...

thereuare Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Are you willing to change hotels for this two nite stay?Are the amenities the same for 4* hotel appearing for solo one nite and two nite stays?Please click these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links before replying.Thanks.

zclord Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Im fine to change hotel, as sin is very small and easy public transport and i don't many luggage. there is no amenities icons in HOTWIRE for singapore hotels... so no idea now. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Given all the hotels show no amenities, I think Singapore may be a fairly new area for HOTWIRE and is still updating/gather info about the properties... unfortunately this does give much to go on in an attempt to figure out what type of 'true' quality you may receive.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

Romelle Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Do you have a back-up plan? Cancelable reservations are always a good idea. Then you can bid up until the very last.You've still got quite a bit of time. Sometimes hotels don't give rooms to Priceline inventory until the last few days. Are you bidding all the zones? That will improve your chances, assuming the areas work for you.It might be time to bid the 4* up to as high as you have bid the 5*? Romelle Link to comment

Maybe its worth a look or an enquiry.........I find they get back to you pretty quicklyalso is staying 3 nights a possibility..... wotif.com have a minimum 3 night stay at $120SG a night for 2 persons for your dates at Hotel RE.......................................

Romelle Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 :) I am up to $145 for 5 star in Orchard and Marina Bay on Priceline .... Looking for Sunday April 10 - one nightIn June 2010 - got Conrad for $97 ... no clue why I can't get near the same.There are a number of reasons why rates are higher this year:Weaker US dollarStrengthening travel industryDay of week (I only checked one other day, and your Sunday actually was lower than the following Wednesday so maybe can rule this one out)Local events/conferences/holidays/etc.More savvy travelers using PL so hotels don't have to offer such bargainsAnd ??Hard to say just which one(s) are impacting your trip, but I'm happy to read you have a back-up plan. Meanwhile, you can hope for a last minute deal, consider other zones or consider the 4*s. You still have quite a bit of time left. There are some cities for which Priceline sometimes just doesn't work. I've had bidding difficulties with Rome and ended up using some alternate solutions, and recently was only partially successful with Key West. Other bidders have reported problems with other cities. Retail (the direct purchase side of Priceline) Singapore 5*s range from $205 to $576. I don't know which ones are in your bidding area, but if the lower ones are, your bids are still less than 50%. The Conrad you mention is $311. With a 50% discount it would still take a $156 bid to win. The 4* retail hotels start at $119. Prices are for your date of course.Romelle Link to comment
