laredo77 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 This year my girlfriend and I are going to Miami (and NYC - see other topic). Last year we stayed in the Sonesta Bayfront hotel at Coconut Grove. We really liked the area and would like to stay there again. The Sonesta would be great but all the other 4* hotels are fine. Last year we payed 67$ per night with priceline (60+7 bonus cash). Can you help me with a bidding strategy? We will be staying from august 8 till august 18.

thereuare Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones.

laredo77 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 Unfortunately no succes up to 85$. Will keep on trying because I have enough time till August 8. And off course follow this thread. Thanks sofar!!
AaronJB Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I'd try every few days; if by a couple of weeks from now you're not having any success up to $85/90, then you can consider whether you want to move your ceiling up.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
