Priceline Hotel: 3* Los Angeles - San Fernando Valley (Warner Center - Woodland Hills)

[mgaebler]

Tried $65...

Got a message "During our search for your price of $65, we found a hotel that would accept a price of $90 per room, per night"

My normal rule of thumb is that you have to re-bid (using a free zone) by slightly more than half the difference between what you bid and what they suggest,when you get that message above.Against my better judgement, I instead bid $75 (as i had one 2 previous nights at $70). This was unsuccessful, so I believe in that rule of thumb even more.

I realized I could have tried to extend my existing reservation but I was interested in bidding "new" in hopes of getting a different place (only because it is closer to my work).

My plans are flexible, so I have a backup plan, so it's not a big deal.

I of course tried to use the Better Bidding PRICELINE link.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of any help long the way.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
