Linh Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Hello, I have been trying to get a 3-3.5* hotel in the Fisherman's Wharf or Financial District for 10/21-10/23 all morning with no success. I started at $95 and went up to $130. I think I would be willing to go up to $150 but Ive run out of chances until tmw. When do you suggest is the best time to try to find a hotel for these days and am I bidding too low? Thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!I assume you're bidding for a 3.5* up to your limit, then lowering your star rating... are you lowing your bid amount when you lower your star rating?Assuming your last bid was at the 3* level for $130 (if not post back exactly what your bidding history was) I would try again as follows:At the 3.5* level you have FIVE re-bid zones... at the 3* level only ONE re-bid zone. 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 3.5* Fishermans Wharf...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Fishermans Wharf...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try the 3.5* strategy but adjust the 3* strategy to bid $145/$150.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE links on the board to begin all your bidding.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Linh Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Posted November 29, 2012 Thanks for all the help however I ended up not booking through Priceline because my boyfriend booked the hotel for us instead.
