thereuare Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Rating: 3 - 4Are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay? In other words, did you first want to try for a 4* up to your $75 limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5*, then if rejected try for a 3*... OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better 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.

Redmok Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Posted August 20, 2012 For my priceline strategy:I want to save as much as possible but if by adding $10/night I can move up a star level I would take the deal(i.e. I prefer $50 3.5* over $40 3* or $60 4* over $50 3.5*)
Redmok Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Posted August 20, 2012 I wasn't expecting to win since I tried this yesterday.Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort (4*)Downtown Disney - Lake Buena Vista Check-In: Sat, Sep 1, 2012 / After 03:00 PMCheck-Out: Sat, Sep 8, 2012 / 12:00 PM$70/night ($81 tax/fees included)Yesterday I tried $50 $60 $65 $70. All in Lake Buena Vista with rebidding zones (4 stars). Today, I was like I'll give it one last shot at 75 but I saw a 4* hotel on hotwire for $74 (which is most likely the same one). I tried 70 and I won.
thereuare Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you were successful at a price that you had already bid and it didn't take anything more.
