DeeDee3 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Firstly thank you for all the wonderful advice on this site. I have been reading over for and think I have the jist of bidding on priceline but never done before so thought it would be wise to seek advice on bidding strategy first.I am planning a short weekend break for myself and 13yr old son to London 28/7/11-31/7/11 (3 nights).Ideally I would like to stay in a 4* hotel but budget is tight. My preferred zones in order of preference are:1 Bloomsbury8 Mayfair13 westminster5 kensington/earls court10 regents park9 nottinghill/bayswaterI believe I have 2 free re bid zones 4 Hammersmith & 12 WembleyMy maximum budget is $145 (
thereuare Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please read your messages.Ideally I would like to stay in a 4* hotel but budget is tight. My preferred zones in order of preference are...Are you willing to pay more to stay in your first choice of zone vs. your second choice, pay more for your second choice vs. third choice, etc, etc... OR is your goal the least expensive 4* or better in any of the acceptable zones?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

DeeDee3 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 thank you so much thereuare for your prompt reply, I am looking for the least expensive 4* but had placed them in order of preference as thought this may affect order of bidding, regards Dee
thereuare Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Yes, you have your TWO re-bid zones correct, but always double check them just before bidding.I would give the following a try:Select 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Kensington, Regents Park, Notting Hill...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Kensington, Mayfair, Westminster...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Regents Park, Notting Hill...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Regents Park, Westminster...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Kensington, Mayfair, Notting Hill...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Notting Hill...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Kensington, Regents Park, Westminster...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Regents Park...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Notting Hill...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington and Regents Park...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington and Notting Hill...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Bloomsburgy, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington, Regents Park, Notting Hill...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
