Priceline Hotel: 4* Hotel Vancouver Priceline denied @ $100

[letsgetsilly]

Hello,

I'm new to priceline and these forums.

I just performed a series of bids for 4 rooms in Downtown Vancouver on 8/20/2011, which is a Saturday. I used the free bid technique exactly like the user in this winning priceline bid thread did in order to rebid on Downtown Vancouver:

I started at $80 and was able to reach $100 bid on 4* hotel in Vancouver for a Saturday night and get denied. I'm planning on performing additional bidding tomorrow in order to go from $100 to $120 using the same free rebidding technique.

I am wondering if I am going about this in the correct way, or if there is anything special I should be aware of regarding bidding frequently over 2 days, bidding on a Saturday night, and noticing how the HOTWIRE price for a 4* hotel on the same date and roughly the same area (Downtown-West vs Downltown) is priced at about $123.

Thanks for any tips in advance!

I've managed to get up to $120 in Vancouver without any luck.

After doing more research my concerns about getting a good deal on a hotel are as follows:

1) There's a deal on Hotwire for 4* for what (I believe) to be the Mariott Pinnacle in Downtown, yet I've reached $120 on priceline without any luck.

2) I'm worried that I'm bidding too far out for this hotel.

Any feedback on my technique is appreciated.
