thereuare Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you're currently bidding $120 for a 4* hotel on PRICELINE... is a HOTWIRE 4* at 172 or a 2.5* at $109 something you're seriously considering at the moment, or is the game plan to continue to bid higher on PRICELINE?What is your maximum bid for a 4* on PRICELINE?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

bidding for hotel Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks thereuare, I will continue to bid higher tonight on PL, can go as high as 135/night.Could you put the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the homepage? I had to open a thread to find the links every time. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Could you put the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the homepage? I had to open a thread to find the links every time.The search boxes are at the top of the page, and the logos in the search boxes are clickable as well... in addition to the links in my signature. Do you need more than these?Did you need a suggested strategy for your next round of Hoboken/Jersey City bidding?If you do work your way upwards toward $172 i think you'll start to approach a price where you can get a nice hotel in Manhattan for the same amount of money, if that's is of interest.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes and/or how we can be of further help.

bidding for hotel Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I intended to get the hotel for Jersey City, however PriceLine ended up giving me the hotel at Meadowlands, I don't think this is a good deal at all.8/17 - 8/20 Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel @103 Link to comment
artiej1120 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Did you add re-bid zones? Or was your only zone Jersey City? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I intended to get the hotel for Jersey City, however PriceLine ended up giving me the hotel at Meadowlands...Sorry to see you received a hotel you didn't intend.I assume you either left re-bid zones from a previous 4* bid selected when you lowered to 3.5* OR lowered your star rating by mistake?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
