socony Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hey all. I'm new to both Priceline and BetterBidding. I am going on a road trip in which I'll be stopping in Sioux Falls for one night on 6/30-7/1. I looked at the maps and I would prefer if I was in the North zone of Sioux Falls with a 2.5 star at least. I will be willing to go the main Sioux Falls zone if it would be a better deal. After that I'll be camping in the Badlands/Mt. Rushmore area before moving on to Boulder for 4 nights on 7/3-7/7. I wish to stay only in Boulder and not in the surrounding towns and it would be preferable to have at least 2.5 star but It would be great if we could get up to a 3.5 star.I hope you guys can help me.Thanks!

thereuare Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please only post one stay per thread... we will use this thread for the first leg of your stay, 6/30-7/1, feel free to start a new topic for the other dates you need.For 6/30-7/1, how much would you need to save to stay in the 'central' Sioux City zone vs. the North Sioux City zone... or is any amount cheaper a 'better deal' and you're goal is actually the least expensive in either zone is your goal? Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 2.5* or better for this trip? What is your maximum bid for this stay?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

socony Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would prefer to get the lowest price no matter what zone but if the savings are negligible than I would prefer to go to the North Zone. My goal is to get the least expensive 2.5 star hotel. My maximum bid would be ~100 but obviously I would like less. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would prefer to get the lowest price no matter what zone but if the savings are negligible than I would prefer to go to the North Zone.This is contradictory. Is the North zone worth pay $5 more, $10 more, $15, more $20... or not worth paying anything more for?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

socony Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh I'm sorry what I meant to say was I want to get the cheapest hotel in any zone but if the hotel in the North Zone was not the cheapest by only 10 dollars then I would go with the North Zone. Link to comment
