legospice Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi all,Im new to all this Priceline stuff but after reading this forum inside and out over the past few days i think im ready to make my first bid. Im a bit nervous though so i thought i would ask for some advice here first on the bidding strategy and average prices. Im looking for a 4* Toronto Downtown South on April 12 for 6 nights. What price should i start bidding at? If i understand correctly, if it gets rejected i can add a rebid zone that DOESN'T have a 4* hotel in it and up my bid by a few bucks and try again, and continue doing so until i get accepted?? Any help or advice is very much appreciated. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!When bidding 4* in Toronto you have TEN re-bid zones... feel free to confirm them with the board before proceeding.

legospice Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 We bid following your strategy and using the PRICELINE link and were unsuccessful :-( Maybe its because we are looking for 6 nights. It hasn't put me off though, i will be using the PRICELINE link a lot in the future. We found a hotel on Expedia that we were happy with at the price so went with that insteadThank you so much for all your help :-) Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Glad to see you found something that works for your needs.What hotel did you pick-up on Expedia?If you didn't, please note that in our Support Page we have links to Expedia as well as most other major hotel chains and travel agencies, please check for and use the links there for your hotel direct purchases.Enjoy your stay.
