thereuare Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!The 'increase your bid by $25' is what we refer to as a counter-offer, and yes, at this time, it is very likely that $110 will be enough to win a 4* hotel in this zone. However, you can also often undercut this number by using re-bid zones (see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained) as discussed in this thread: Priceline Suggests Price to Pay.Feel free to ask any questions you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board (or if you're confused just post back and we'll break it down further for you). If you'd like help with a suggested bidding strategy let us know your maximum bid for a 4* hotel (are you willing to go as high as $110/nite??) and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

P-yush Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 Hmm.. the Four Points Niagara Fallsview is $93avg/night for the the 3 nights i need.. what should I start bid at for 3* hotel.. I'm guessing in Zone 1. I guess I could get stuck with another hotel..
thereuare Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 With this 'known' 3* hotel at $93/nite, and a 4* likely still available at $110 (or less)... how high are you willing to bid for an 'opaque' 3 star hotel? (yes, you could receive any 3* hotel, or higher, in the zone)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
