thereuare Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please start by reading your messages.What is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for these dates? How high are you willing to bid before lowering your star rating or selecting a different nearby zone?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

bawel Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 ThanksMy max 5* price is 160 per night + tax
thereuare Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 As it seems you have already bid up to your limit you'd basically be looking for one of the 5* hotels in the zone to have lowered their threshold for a win to your maximum bid price. Here is a systematic strategy for you to follow, but i'd advise only bidding 2-3x per week as any more than that may lead to frustration.At the 5* level you have THREE re-bid zones. 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 5* Orchard Rd...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* Orchard Rd...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* Marina Bay and Orchard Rd...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck!

bawel Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks But No results even bidding above my earlier target up to $185+tax.Given up and purchased from other site getting St Regis for AUD$630 inclusive taxes and breakfast for 2 for two nights.Compared to AUD$950 from a travel agent or AUD$840 from other sites.Although i do says that previously i did get good result from Priceline for my Europe hotels.
