lovetofly Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 I am looking to get a 3.5* room in Boston on 8/11 - 8/14 in Copley Square-Theatre District or Quincy Market - Faneuil Hall. I have been trying for months on and off through the PRICELINE link with my max being $92 so far but getting nothing. Based on what I've seen from other posts, it seems like I should be all booked from my max by now!My rebidding zones are as follows:Fenway ParkMedford - SomervileNorth CambridgeSouth BostonBrighton - BrooklineAny bidding strategy advice would be appreciated!Thanks! :)
AaronJB Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)I'm a bit surprised that your bids have not been accepted, as I'm seeing a 3.5* in the Back Bay-Copley Area for $100 w/Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business on HOTWIRE, which is a possible match for the Sheraton or Hilton.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 I have been trying for months on and off through the PRICELINE link with my max being $92...Are you willing to go up another $5 or so to be done with this?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases.

lovetofly Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Yes, I would be willing to go up $5 and be done with it. I have not used HOTWIRE before though and have used PRICELINE for all my bidding since I was familiar with it.Think I should just bump up my starting bid up by $5 and work in increments from there? Any specific suggestions?Thanks again!
