lcd Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Hello, I'd like to try for a 4* hotel in USE or FD - Emb. with a maximum bid of $80. The Grand Hyatt is coming up at $119 for this weekend on Priceline. What would you suggest for a starting bid? I checked the re-bid zones and it looks like I have six to work with: CC So., Fisherman's Wharf, Japan Town - CC No., Marina-Lombard St., SFO No., and So. SF. Did I get this right? Thanks in advance for any suggestions,lcd
thereuare Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Yes, you have your re-bid zones at the 4* level correct, but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed.Using your SIX re-bid zones i would bid as follows:Select 4* USE and Financial-Embarcadero...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

lcd Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks so much, thereuare, for your detailed response. In the meantime, I received an e-mail from Priceline, something about saving $5 per night on any "Name Your Own Price" hotel and claiming a bonus cash. Is this the same as bidding through your PRICELINE link? Does the bonus cash automatically apply?
thereuare Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 You can still use our PRICELINE link along with your bonus money as follows:1) click our link to PRICELINE and let the page fully load2) at the top of the page go to MY PROFILE >> MY REWARDS3) use the bonus money link found in the MY REWARDS section of your profile (and not the link in any emails sent to you)Thanks.

lcd Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Posted April 18, 2011 Same bid as others who have already posted...Hyatt Regency, $80, 4/23/11-4/25/11. I used your PRICELINE link and the final $80 price included the bonus dollars. Thanks, again, for the help!lcd

wally44 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 This is a fabulous hotel! I stayed there 9 years ago when in SF and looks like they are still offering great deals on Priceline. Have a trip scheduled for June, so will try to get the same one!Just tried June 22 through 24 for the Financial District at $65 and added SOMA for $70 and those did not work. Will try $75 when the time frame has reset. Don't want to get stuck in an area I don't want.
