Priceline Hotel: 9/14-9/25 3*+ (Waikiki) failing $95, $200

[robt1975]

Hello! I've been using to PRICELINE links in this forum in my attempts to strike a deal for either a 4*+ in the Waikiki beach area, or a 3*+ in the Waikiki beach and Waikiki central area with no luck and my dates are now within a week. With 2 weeks to go I was bidding the 4*+ all the way up to $200 using all of the re-bid areas, however I have recently started adding the 3* in the Waikiki central area because I like the Aqua Waikiki Wave, and I've been bidding it up to $95 with no luck. I'm seeing retail prices at the Waikiki beach Marriott for $219, and I have a confirmed refundable reservation at the wave for $129 so I don't want to bid these up any more than I already have. Is anyone having any better luck lately with last minute bids? Thanks

Welcome to BetterBidding!

My initial thought is that you're likely having difficulty due to the length of your stay... is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

Thank you! I have tried splitting up the dates in a number of ways including shortening my stay 1 day at a time and delaying my arrival by 1 day at a time and still no luck. The refundable hotel that I have booked at has a 72 hour cancellation policy, and rates have gone up a bit since I booked it so I will try PRICELINE via the links provided on this site one last time before I can no longer cancel my refundable hotel and I will post my results here. I have had great luck with priceline in the past getting resort hotels for $80, but we're not even close to that right now.

Thanks

Good luck on the next round of bidding and let us know if/how we can be of further help.

Well today was my last chance to bid before losing my 1 day deposit at my reserved hotel and I bid the 4*+ in the Waikiki Beach area up to $150 and the 3*+ Waikiki central area up to $95 with no luck so I guess I will be sticking with my reservation through the hotel for this trip since I am guaranteed an ocean view for only 30% more than my current priceline bid. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

Sorry to hear that PRICELINE and HOTWIRE didn't work out for you this time around.

Enjoy your stay... and the view. ;)
