tkduke77 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Any ideas on a good starting point and rebid zones? Thanks
AaronJB Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 This will be a more expensive period due to NYE; what would be your desired max bid per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
tkduke77 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 I'm thinking no more than $125 a night? Thanks for your help.
thereuare Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 When bidding 3* in this region you have 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* French Quarter...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected closer browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Downtown...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected closer browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* French Quarter and Downtown...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105Any questions feel free to ask.

tkduke77 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 Ok, after quite a few bids, I successfully won 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Downtown (3*) for $120 a night. I want to add that there are actually a few more re-bid zones for 3* hotels. The Garden District only goes up to 2.5* and the New Orleans East zone only goes up to 2*. I used these zones in conjunction with the Downtown and French Quarter zones to work my way up from $90 to $120 before finally winning. I'm happy with the outcome given the in-demand dates and thank you guys for the help. Cheers!
