thereuare Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Congratulations on your success!Hope you're pleased with the hotel and the deal you received on this last minute win. Not sure how much of a hurry you were in or how much time you had to bid, but you could improve upon your bidding by closing the browser and bidding each of the zones individually at the same bid price, then gradually increased with strategically adding zones in combination with each other. Any time you add a 'live' zone as you did there is a risk of overbidding; for example, if there was a hotel in Cupertino available for less than $65 you never had a chance to get it for less since $65 was your first bid which included this zone. Hope this makes sense but if not feel free to ask any questions you have and/or for help before your next opaque purchase.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay... Kimpton hotels and there evening wine receptions are great. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
