superal Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm looking for a hotel in Wauwatosa and don't want to get as far north as the Priceline boundary goes for Northwest-Wauwatosa. Any idea what hotels are in the north area of the zone? The 3.5* looks like it is the Crowne Plaza in Tosa. Are there other 3.5* in this zone? thanks for the help! Link to comment

superal Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I followed up on the Seattle trip. Sorry about that. Hope you can help me with the Wisconsin trip! Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Can you please further follow-up your Seattle hotel thread indicating which service was used (PRICELINE or HOTWIRE) and if HOTWIRE the amenities shown before the purchase (how to still view these are provided in our reply to your post).If your sister (or anyone else) will be making your purchases in the future please ask them to stop by the board first and use the links here to begin their bidding/purchase.In regards to your Milwaukee trip, there is no announcement made when hotels are added to or removed from the system. While the Crowne Plaza is the only 3.5* property reported to the board, there could always be others which were recently added or simply not yet reported to the board (entirely possible since this zone is not bid/won that frequently).When bidding on PRICELINE you can't bid on, or avoid, a specific part of the zone, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, and therefore have a guess as to whether or not it's in a part of the zone that you'd be happy with, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive a hotel in the part of the zone you're hoping for. With HOTWIRE you may be able to have a better chance at receiving a hotel in the part of the zone you're hoping for, but the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE.Based upon the above let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

superal Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Tried repeatedly to get a 3.5* in the Wauwatosa zone for 7/27/12-8/2/12. Started bidding at $40 and added rebid zones of Germantown, North Shore, Milwaukee West, and New Berlin and bid over several days. Finally gave up when my bid of $70 (may have even been $72 or $75) was rejected. Added the Brookfield zone and got the Sheraton for $60. I'll start a new thread with that win information.And I did use the PRICELINE link! Link to comment
