BayArea1227 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I got this bid on my 6th try. I first checked the PRICELINE website and saw how much the prices were for the area and star rating for certain hotels. I usually stay in Downtown LA, but the prices were extremely high for a 4 star hotel which they usually are quite reasonable. I'm guessing there is an event going on during that week. Anyways, here's my bidding strategy:Started at 4* with Burbank - Universal City - Glendale at $90 - RejectedAdded North Hollywood - Studio City at $95 - RejectedAdded Simi Valley at $100 - Rejected - They countered at $125 - I declinedAdded Valencia - Stevenson Ranch at $105 - Rejected - They countered at $130 - I declinedAdded Van Nuys - Mission Hill - Sherman Oaks at $110 - Rejected - They countered at $135 - I declinedAdded Warner Center - Woodland Hills Area at $115 - Accepted :) I used the PRICELINE link provided on top of the BetterBidding board.Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale And Executive Meeting Ctr100 West Glenoaks Blvd Glendale, California 91202 Check-In Date: Wed, Jul 13, 2011 / After 03:00 PMCheck-Out Date: Sat, Jul 16, 2011 / 12:00 PMYour Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $115.00Subtotal: $345.00Taxes & Fees: $54.93Total Charges*: $399.93Overall, I'm happy with this BID!
