MeShell81 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Starting bidding at 85 and worked my way up with re- bidding zones. Got the W Hotel Chicago City Center for $120. Good deal for a night in the city. Have been using the links for searches as well:)
AaronJB Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Congrats on your success. :)Terrific deal for this time period in the city. Just to confirm, did you get the W City Center or the W Lakeshore? The message subject says the City Center, but the thread title said the Lakeshore.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.

Good deal for a night in the city. Have been using the links for searches as well:)I am having an awful time bidding~ I usually have really good luck. It may just be the time of year i'm wanting. What is a re-bidding zone? Is that where you can change the area or star quality of hotel and bid immediately again? If so, I have been doing that with no luck :(
LucyMax Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 also.....is it better to wait til closer to time I need a hotel, or better far off. I need October 5-9.

I need October 5-9.Please start a new thread and we would be happy to offer suggestions. The (unfortunately significant) issue with these dates is that the Chicago Marathon is happening on 10/7 this year. Purchase timing is discussed in detail in the FAQ and re-bidding is discussed here: re-bidding. Unfortunately, given the Marathon, I think the issue with these dates is just going to be sheer traffic.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

MeShell81 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Posted June 24, 2012 Sorry It is the W City Center on Adams St. and in zone (Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area)
AaronJB Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Thank you for the follow-up. Very nice deal for this W property! I liked it when I stayed there before the hotel's "look" (all the W's have a different "look") was completely redone.Enjoy your stay.
