*loves2travel* Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Posted August 25, 2011 Hi Please help with a bidding strategy for a 4* or 4.5* in West Hollywood/Beverly Hills for 1 night checking in on 9/13 and out on 9/14.Only 3 free rebid areas: Lawndale, Inglewood, and Culver City.Used PRICELINE link when searching.
AaronJB Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 This would be a possible match for the Sofitel.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Colfax Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Priceline offers 5* and 4* bidding in Beverly Hills-West Hollywood zone, but no 4.5*.What is your bidding limit, so that we don't give a strategy that goes higher than you're willing to pay?Please use these HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links for your searches and purchases.
*loves2travel* Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 $150 would be nice, but im willing to pay more for a better quality hotel would go up to $200, but that would be max. Do you think that would be enough to bid for the 5*?? That night for L'Emeritage is showing for $450...
thereuare Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 At current prices i'm doubtful that $200 will be enough for a 5* but to give it a try:At the 5* level you have NINE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 5* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200Any questions feel free ot ask.

*loves2travel* Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Ok so I bid up to $200 and it wasn't accepted. Can you please provide a bidding strategy for a 4*... I guess my max on this one would be about $150 or so, is that a high enough bid??
thereuare Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 I think $150 may fall a bit short, but with a little time in your side we can try that first, then if rejected you can decide if you want to increase your maximum bid or add other zones.At the 4* level you have THREE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 4* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood and re-bid zone2...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood and re-bid zone3...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Beverly Hills-West Hollywood and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone1...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.

*loves2travel* Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Posted August 28, 2011 No luck winning any bids. I instead just booked a hotel without bidding, with taxes included it wasn't much less than booking a room that I knew the name for the price they listed. Thank you for your help.
