mohsmom Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 I have been reading the forum for Chattanooga hotel for days and the forum for how to bid properly and it's so over my head. I want to be in downtown Chattanooga. I saw one person won a $83 bid for the Chattanoogan and I know I won't necessarily win that exact bid. I did try to bid $83 and it was rejected. How do I play this game? I also would like to not spend more than $80 on the bid and am willing to take less stars. Thanks!

mohsmom Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Does timing affect winning bids? I mean, am I more likely to get a lower price by bidding well ahead of time or waiting and bidding closer to my date of arrival? Say, a couple days ahead of time verses a week or two.
Romelle Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Have you discovered the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins yet? Center of this page. Just select Tennessee - Priceline and enter your dates. If somebody has had a successful bid for your dates you will be able to see there results.Also, if you just enter "chattanooga downtown" in the Quick Search box up at the top of the page, you can see all the Chattanooga Downtown Zone results together without having to scroll through the Airport and other ones.Romelle

mohsmom Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Posted August 31, 2011 We want to arrive September 2'nd and leave on the 4'th.The most I would like to spend is $85 a night and I would like to get as many stars as you think I can for that price. My main concern is being downtown. I would like to be walking distance to most everything.Thanks!
thereuare Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 At both the 4* and 3.5* levels you have FIVE 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.I'd begin with:Select 4* Downtown...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* Downtown...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85Any questions feel free to ask.If the above is rejected post back and we'll revise to try for a 3* property.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
