hbm Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Saw that someone else got the Hyatt Regency (Financial District - Embarcadero) for 8/18 for only $80, so decided to try bidding low and hoping to get this hotel at a similar rate.Varied my bid for a 4* starting at $80 and up through $90.Included the following areas as I made my bids (adjusting over time): Embarcadero, USE, USW, SOMAWe have a lot of flexibility in this trip, so I'll try some more bids in the coming days and see what plays-out, but right now more focused on finding a good deal for a 4*
thereuare Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Just to give some perspective, at the moment based upon current prices, i'm guessing a 4* in these zones would require something in the $125-$145 range.Keep us update on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck.

hbm Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Posted August 11, 2011 Agreed, I realize that my bids are a real stretch.I just bid $90 on the same area (Embarcadero 4*) and it offered me the opportunity to bid again on same area if I was willing to up my bid to $101.I didn't do this at this time, but does this generally mean that if I increased the bid to that amount, that the increased bid would have been accepted?Oh yeah, I went to Michigan too.....Go Blue!
Colfax Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Priceline usually accepts less than their counteroffer, so you can likely win this between $91 and $101. You don't have to wait 24 hours to bid again if you add a rebid zone.You have six rebid zones for 4*, allowing you to inch up one dollar at a time. Ask if you need help ID'ing your six rebids.Select 4* Embarcadero + rebid #1 and bid $91Add rebid #2 and bid $92Add rebid #3 and bid $93Add rebid #4 and bid $94Add rebid #5 and bid $95If rejected exit Priceline, close browser, reaccess PRICELINE through link...Select 4* Embarcadero + rebid #6 and bid $96Add rebid #1 and bid $97Add rebid #2 and bid $98Add rebid #3 and bid $99Add rebid #4 and bid $100Add rebid #5 and bid $101Or you can just wait 24 hours and try higher...maybe $95.
