Priceline Hotel: 3.5* hotel identify hotwire and super urgent Crystal City bid strategy....

[BiddingBetterDC]

I see a 3.5* Crystal City-Reagan National Airport DCA area hotel with:

Indoor pool(s)

Airport Shuttle

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Wheelchair accessible

It's at 98 bucks a night and has only an 80% recommend.

I am looking for Crystal City on PRICELINE also 3* or better (for under the listed Hotwire rate of 98 of course)..... really hoping for 85 maximum before taxes on Priceline. Dates 8/8-8/11

Please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links, then reply to this thread and we'll have a look at your post above.

Is the game plan to bid on PRICELINE first up to $85?

Trying to run thing concurrently with the PRICELINE bid strategy having priority. For some reason i'm having issues clicking on the HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links....get an error. I get redirected.

Could really use that bidding strategy if anyone has one.

At the 3* level you only have ONE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. With not much time on your hands i would try the following:

Select 3* Crystal City...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Then if this is rejected i would switch to 3.5* where you have FIVE re-bid zones available.

Select 3.5* Crystal City and re-bid zone...(any of the re-bid zones EXCEPT the one you include above... you can use that re-bid zone again in the bids below, but just not on this first 3.5* bid)

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $88, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $90

Any questions feel free to ask.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I still can't use the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links...I still get redirected.

I got this a little late and winged it with what I saw at the time and got the Sheraton Crystal City from Hotwire for 79 but only from 8/8 to 8/10 and now there's a different 3.5* i'm curious about with a 90% recommend at $66 per/night and these amenities:

Airport Shuttle

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Accessible for the blind

Accessible for the deaf

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

Roll-in shower

Any guesses? ....it's not the Sheraton Crystal City because the Sheraton Crystal City has no pool.

I hope it's not the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Crystal City (don't like it at all) which is really low on Kayak, Priceline, and Travelocity etc for just 79 (looking at the date 8/10 to 8/12)

Update it's now $67/night.
