floridag8er Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Hello everyone,I'm new to the forum and it's been about 10 years since I've used Priceline and have never used Hotwire. I'm looking to stay at a 4* in Downtown Memphis on April 23, 2011 for my wife's birthday. Can anyone give me a bidding strategy and what kind of price I should be bidding or looking for?Thank you! :)
yellowdog Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!What would your maximum budget be before taxes/fees?Yellowdog.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
floridag8er Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Posted April 19, 2011 Hi Yellowdog,I've seen the Westin Memphis Beale Street go for between $90-$100, which would be ideal since the going rate is $151 right now. I don't really have a max budget, I just want to get a similar deal.Thanks!
thereuare Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Four star hotels in this zone typically go for a little more than $100, but if you want to start with that as your maximum bid...At the 4* level you have FIVE 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.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100Any 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.
