chic Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi allI wanted some advice on priceline bidding for either downtown DC, capitol, or dupont circle from April 10-16. I'm looking for 4* or 3.5*. I've tried with up to $110 for 4* but haven't gotten anything. so I'm starting to think I'll have to try 3.5* but not sure where I should start. Thanks for the help.

AaronJB Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
chic Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Would $130 be too unrealistic for 4*? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 $130 may be enough for a 4* property, although $135-$145 would probably give you an even better shot, imo. We will of course always start lower and then increase gradually, but if you let us know what you would like to use as your maximum bid we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

chic Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I would say $130 is the maximum if there's a chance. Thanks. Link to comment
