TiPi Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 Looking for 2 rooms in a nice Hotel in a. m. areas.Price: < 150 $ / night and room.How would you proceed?
thereuare Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 Did you want to first bid up to your limit for a 5* hotel, then if rejected try up to your limit for a 4*, then if rejected try for a 3*... OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.

TiPi Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Posted September 13, 2012 3* or better is the goal. I started with 5, 4 and than 3*. Is my maximum too low or did I take the wrong strategy?

OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?3* or better is the goal. I started with 5, 4 and than 3*. Is my maximum too low or did I take the wrong strategy?Take another look at my question... i understand your minimum star rating is 3*, but did you want to bid up to your maximum bid for a 5* hotel before trying for a 4*, then try up to your maximum for a 4* before trying for a 3*, etc.... OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel.As an example, if given a choice do you prefer a 4* at $150 or a 3* at $120? If the former then you are willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel... if the latter then your goal is the least expensive 3* or better.Hope that makes a bit more sense and clarifies the issue.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
