[magj]

Planning on going to Vancouver on the 7/2-7/4 of July weekend. I'm sorry I know it's may be kind of late to get a good deal! Would prefer Richmond area 3*hotel, please help with bidding strategy and what price range should I start with priceline.

Thanks in advance! :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please tell us the Priceline zone(s) you are willing to bid on ('Richmond' is not one of them).

You can't designate what part of a zone you wish to be in, if you're going to use Priceline, you need to be willing to accept a hotel anywhere within their shaded boundary of the zone(s).

The zone I want is Vancouver Richmond, according to the priceline map, it's should be the "Vancouver Int'l Airport"

2nd Question:

How to specified that I want a double beds room?

Thanks again :)

1) Can you accept a hotel anywhere within the boundary of the Airport zone?

2) You can't... you can call the hotel after your bid is accepted and put in a request, but it is just a request, and your actual room will be assigned at check-in based upon availability.

Based upon the above, are you able to move forward with Priceline?

[magj]

Yes I'm able to accepted any hotel within that boundary.

Thanks again

Do you have a maximum bid in mind or a back-up reservation price you're trying to beat?
