AaronJB Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 To confirm... $200 per nite?As you may (or may not) be aware, there is a large 15K attendee security convention taking place over these dates and that is the likely reason for the very high hotel rates you're currently seeing.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

nemo123 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Oh didn't realize it was 200$ per night. 160$ per night would be my budget.... Is it still possible to get something for 160?
AaronJB Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 If you have bid up to $150 and have not been accepted, I'd try $155, then $160.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 When bidding 4* in San Francisco you have SIX 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. financial district, union square east and nob hill Select 4* Financial and USE...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 $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Nob Hill...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 $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Financial and USE and Nob Hill...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160If the above is rejected you can re-try the above at the 3.5* level OR wait it out and hope for lower priced inventory at the 4* level to be released in the weeks ahead. If you choose to wait it out, or if you bid 3.5* and are turned down, i'd suggest booking the Club Quarters HERE for $199/nite as it's fully refundable up until a few days before your stay (always double check the terms during the check-out process) and this give you a 'known' price to beat as well as protect you should rates rise from here.Any 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.
