scottmc82 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 First time bidder on priceline looking for a 4 star in MTE, MTW, TS, or CPS. Was hoping to get something no more than $200 a night. Is this possible?
thereuare Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!I think $200 has a chance, but may fall a bit short... perhaps $225-$240 would increase your chances dramatically.If you want to start at $200, I would bid as follows:At the 4* level 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.Select 4* MTE and MTW...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS and TS...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and CPS...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW and TS...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and TS...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS and MTW...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE, MTW, CPS, TS...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 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.

scottmc82 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 Changed my dates to Dec 26-30 and tried your strategy but didn't get one. What strategy should I try now?
thereuare Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option? I think you could be successful for 12/26-12/29 for much less than you have already bid, then pick-up the nite of 12/29 at a different hotel (for a higher price)... with the overall cost being less than you have already bid.Thoughts?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
