whistlerite Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Posted October 7, 2011 I think my max would be $150/night but would rather it to be lowerwould be happy with Moscone centrefishermans wharfmarinafinancial districteither union squareJapan towncivic centreWill be using PRICELINE link here
thereuare Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 Rates are very high for these dates and i don't think that $150 will likely be enough for a 4* hotel in these areas, but to give it a try...Of the zones you mentioed as being acceptable, only the following currently offer 4* bidding:Moscone centrefinancial districtUSEUSWWhen bidding 4* in this region you have SIX 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 4* USE and USW...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mocscone and Financial...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and Financial...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Mocscone and USW...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USE and USW and Mocscone and Financial...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 $150Any questions feel free to ask.Assuming the above is rejected, i noticed at many properties the first nite of your stay is more expensive then the last two. It may not help much, as the last two nites are still quite pricey, but would SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID be an option?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
