jenee727 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 I am looking for a 4* or 5* hotel in London for September 9 - September 11, 2011. Our maximum budget is $150/night including taxes. Do you think it's possible to win a room in either of the first two zones with that pricing? If not, than our third choice would be the Notting Hill area. Thanks for any help you can provide! :)1st zone choice: Westminster2nd zone choice: Mayfair Soho3rd zone choice: Notting Hill - Bayswater

jenee727 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 What is your maximum bid amount... before taxes and fees?Sorry about that, let's say $130/night. Thanks!
thereuare Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Based upon current prices i don't think that $130 will likely be enough for your first two zone choices, but with time on your side i would try for those first, as follows:At the 4* level in London you have TWO 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* Westminster...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mayfair-Soho...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Westminster and Mayfair-Soho...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130Any questions feel free to ask. If the above is rejected we'll revise to include Notting Hill in the next round of bidding.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

jenee727 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 Hi, I used your PRICELINE link and tried again today with no luck. I did get an offer to raise my price by $30 bucks, but that would bring it it to $150 so I just kept going with the above bids. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks!
