Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Quincy Market-Faneuil Hall-Financial) Hyatt Financial

[Sustaine]

Researched - (Lowest prices on Expedia Wednesday sale showed best price for downtown Boston Omni for $152)

First Bid today $85 for 4 star in Copley Square - bzzzzt - rejected - ran to yoga class

Rebid up to $100 (added in Brookline, Medford, then added in Findlay none of which have a 4*) limit of my price

Added in Quincy Market and got Hyatt Regency Boston for 100 for two nights

NOTE: this is my first post so I hope I entered the information correctly.. I bid very quickly using a martix (added areas that didn't have 4 star hotels) as I only have 2 days till the trip and little time to spend bidding and really wanted Copley but am fine with Quincy Market - Faneuil Hall - Financial

What should I have done different if anything?

Just follow the guidelines for re-bidding in this link Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and you'll be fine. I don't know is this is "last minute trip", otherwise give yourself some more time to bid. But your bidding looks ok to me.

Enjoy your stay.

One improvement on your bidding is to closed the browser and started lower when you added Quincy Market to the bidding. Since Quincy Market has 4* or higher rated hotels, it's a 'live' zone, and not a 're-bid' zone... so by adding it to the end of your bidding you never gave yourself a chance to win this zone at lower rated. Hope this makes sense, but if not, feel free to ask any questions.

Feel free to ask for help before making your next opaque purchase.

Thanks for sharing your PRICELINE win with the board.

Enjoy your stay.
