mark nasraui Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I will be in Miami from 09/06 to 09/07. It's only 1 night and my budget is around U$100,00.I'd like to stay in Miami beach, but, I doubt it's possible with this money, so, I'd like suggestions of where stay I saw in PRICELINE map and like the locations of Coral Gables and Miami Downtown.I already click on those links:PRICELINE] and HOTWIREI'm ready to bid from now.Tks Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Did you want to first bid on a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5* property... OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Also, do you want to include Miami Beach in your bidding as well? While your budget may be too low (you never know!) if this area is acceptable at the very least it will give you additional bidding opportunities to use in a bidding strategy and increase your bids in smaller increments.Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

mark nasraui Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I prefer to try first a 4*. I don`t care to pay U$100,00 in a 4* but if it`s not possible I want some 3,5* decent, don`t have to be the least expensive 3,5*If you think that is possible to get something in Miami Beach I`d like to add too.Tks for attention.

mark nasraui Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 After Miami I`ll be in Orlando from 09/08 to 09/09, Do I have to create a new topic?I prefer to stay in the Sea World (11) or Universal Orlando (12) around the Intl Dr area.My budget per night is U$80,00Tks again Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 If you think that is possible to get something in Miami Beach I`d like to add too.Rates are not that high for this nite, but it's not a question of whether Miami Beach is possible at this price or not, but more so if it's acceptable... you have nothing to lose by including all acceptable zones in a bidding strategy. Best case scenario is that you're accepted at a much lower rate than you thought possible... worst case scenario is that it's "just another rejected bid".What is the purpose of this stay... do you also want to include South Beach zones in your bidding? (if so, there are three South Beach zone, please look at the PRICELINE map and let us know which one(s) to include) If including South Beach, Miami Beach, etc.. do you want to include these zones first before including Downtown and/or Coral Gables.. or is the goal the least expensive in any of your accetpable zones? Please let us know which zones to include on your first round of bidding up to your $100 limit.After Miami I`ll be in Orlando from 09/08 to 09/09, Do I have to create a new topic?Yes, please start a NEW TOPIC for the Orlando leg of your trip. All posts for the Miami stay go in this thread... any other dates will go in their own threads.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mark nasraui Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 It's a Holiday in Brazil, then I get 5 days off on my job to go to the US just for fun and shopping.For me any area in Miami beach is ok.Let's start only with Miami beach areas, then, if refused, We include the Coral Gables and Miami Downtown.Tks Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 For me any area in Miami beach is ok.Let's start only with Miami beach areas, then, if refused, We include the Coral Gables and Miami Downtown.Does this mean Miami Beach and South Beach zones... or just Miami Beach?Please go to PRICELINE using the BiddingHelper.com search box in the middle of this page, enter 'Miami, FL' into the search box and you'll see the zones that PRICELINE uses in this region... which 'beach' zones do you want to bid on this first round of bidding? (noting that some of the zones, such as 'South Beach Central' may not be directly on/near the beach and up to a 'decent' walk to the beach area)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
