aussie36 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi all,Just wondering if anyone has had success with 'name your own price' on Priceline for longer stays? I need to book a room for 10 days in August and so far all my bids have been rejected. I've got a little more room in my budget to increase on my next bid attempt, but wondered if it was the length of the stay, and not the price I am bidding that is causing it to be rejected. (I'm trying for a 4* in downtown area)Any tips?Thank you Link to comment

dahammer Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 are you willing to split your stay into two or more bids? Link to comment

aussie36 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 are you willing to split your stay into two or more bids?That's a possibility! Not so sure about more then 2 bids as that would be lots of moving around, but I would be happy to make two sets of bids of 5 nights duration each. Potentially, would this increase my chances of my bid being accepted?I have been using the links provided, thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm not sure how much SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID is going to help you, but if you're willing to do so, are you only willing to split 5days/5days or would other combinations work as well? (ie- 8days-2days or 6days/4days).Are you bidding both the Pike Place and Space Needle zones OR just one of these?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aussie36 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I start off bidding on the downtown zone, then include the seattle center zone to get the 2nd bid. Thanks for the link to the other thread! That was particularly helpful reading. I was actually going to do 6/4 days at that works better for us in case we need to change hotels. 5/5 could work too.

aussie36 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I got the Grand Hyatt for $130 for the first 5 nights. No luck so far on the last 5 nights. Thanks everyone for their help. Fingers crossed I get something for the last 5 nights! Link to comment
