emeraldaine Posted July 4, 2005 Report Posted July 4, 2005 I've never used priceline before, and would appreciate any advice on my first bid!I want a 4* hotel in Vancouver. If I can get it for under $85/night, I'll book 2 nights -- August 2-4 2005. I've searched the winning bids and saw a lot of 4* rooms go for around this price, but nothing close to my dates. If it's over $85, I'll get only 1 night - August 3-4. I don't want to waste my bids trying to get 2 nights if it is unlikely that I'll be successful. What should I do? Thanks in advance for any advice!
thereuare Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Few things... First you'll need to know and understand PRICELINE RE-BIDDING. Please read the previous link and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding (you have three re-bid zones available when bidding 4* in this area)There is no harm trying for both dates first... when you change your dates it's viewed as an entirely new bid (and not a duplicate of your previous bid) so you won't be 'wasting' any bids by trying for both dates first.Once you understand re-bidding I would try the following for both dates and then let us know how it goes, if unsuccessful we'll look at just the 2nd date and advise accordingly:Select 4* Vancouver...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.Any questions feel free to ask. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
