allybunnie Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Hi - Want to do a last minute get away to Boston 1/11 - 1/13 - (2 nights) - Only want to try for a 4* in either the Boston Harborfront Aquarium or the Quincy Mkt Financial District as right now on Hotwire we can get the 4* Fairmont Battery Wharf for $120.00 p/n (identified myself with the amenities & your awesome hotel listings ), so want to see if I can priceline something cheaper than that price I have heard that priceline wins average cheaper than Hotwire buys?? maybe max @ $105.00??? I can adjust pricing on my own if needed ...It looks as though I have 5 free rebid zones....can anyone supply my bidding strategy???Thanx Alison

allybunnie Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 Excellent...had success!!...clicked thru the PRICELINE linkSelected 4* Quincy Market...Bid $70, added re-bid zone...(got the reply back saying if I go to 99.00 they could get my room so I knew there was a "bait" on the line... B) )Bid $75, added re-bid zone...Bid $83, added re-bid zone...Bid $914* AMES Hotel....Have won this before...its a nice place... modern & in a good location right near a "T" stop so we can park in the outskirts of the city CHEAP & take the "T" in like we always do...more $$ for fun instead of paying to park!!...& who can argue with that great price for a quick little getaway... TY!!!
