Priceline Hotel: Help with 3-4* Stowe VT Feb 17-20

[LizC]

Hi,

I am looking for a 3-4* in Stowe Vt from Feb 17-20. One room.

I would like to pay less than $100 but willing to go up to $130 if needed.

Thanks for any advice you can provide for a bidding strategy.

Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* vs. a 3* OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?

Hi,

It is my husbands birthday so I think I would go for the 3.5-4* for a bit higher cost.

I think going for 3.5* also increases my number of free bids.

Thanks for your help.

Just to confirm... you want to to start with a 3.5* or better for this stay, correct? (and not the 4* level)

Assuming the above is correct, at the 3.5* level did you want to stop at $100 or, if rejected, continue on to $130?

Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

This looks like it may be a tough win, but to give it a shot...

At the 3.5* level you have FOUR 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.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)

Select 3.5* Stowe...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* Stowe and re-bid zone3..

Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* Stowe and re-bid zone4..

Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $120

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi,

Thanks for the strategy. I tried last Wed and no luck. I knew it was a long shot with the holiday weekend. I looked and most of the 3.5* were booked for Sat night. We ended up changing our plans.

Thanks again,

Liz
