glossygurll Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 I've been trying to book with priceline for the past few days but had no luck yet. My budget is $140 and I'd like to stay on the West Hong Kong Island side preferably 5 star. I have thought that $140 was doable but this is my 4th day trying. I would like to add Tsim Sha Tsui now as well but I'm not sure how I should be bidding now and when to log out to maximize the rebids.Please help! THank you!!
thereuare Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Rates are dates specific so it's not uncommon that you won't be able to replicate somebody elses winning bid if their dates are different than your own. Looking at the two 'known' 5* hotels in the West Hong Kong Island zone, one is priced at $431/nite and the other at $483/nite... seeing retail prices this high it's not surprising that your $140/nite bids were rejected and that rate is not available for your dates.If you want to try while including Tsim Sha Tsui...When bidding 5* in Hong Kong you have FIVE 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.Select 5* West Hong Kong...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* Tsim Sha Tsui...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 5* West Hong Kong and Tsim Sha Tsui...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140Any 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.
