mmmmcq Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 4* in Paris (Champ Elysees, Eiffel, Opera West and East)5/30~6/2Started $90 and using re-bid zones went up to $130 without success. I have been bidding since Monday with no luck :(I am willing to go up to $150 per night, is this unreasonable? Should I bid higher amount?
thereuare Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 If $150 isn't enough i don't think you're too far off, but with some time on your side let's start with a $150 maximum bid and we'll take it from there.When bidding 4* in Paris you have FOUR 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 4* Champ Elysees and Eiffel...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Opera West and Opera East...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champ Elysees and Eiffel and Opera West...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champ Elysees and Eiffel and Opera East...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Eiffel and Opera West and Opera East...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champ Elysees and Opera West and Opera East...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Champ Elysees, Eiffel, Opera West and Opera East...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any 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.

adschnei Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 I am looking at Paris over the same exact dates as you. However, I'm looking in Montparnasse and St. Germain only. I started at $100 and went up to $125 using the PRICELINE link, free rebids and the information posted above with no success. It seems we picked an expensive time to visit Paris.Good luck on your search, I will be keeping an eye out if you score something. If I do, I'll be sure to start a new thread.
mmmmcq Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 Hi there,I ended up getting the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel hotel from Hotwire (of course, used the HOTWIRE link provided above) for CAD$191. I spent last few days bidding up to $160 without success, and realized I was spending too much time on it (spending 1~2 hours per day to bid for hotels was no fun). And the price on HOTWIRE was somewhere similar to what I have bidded on PRICELINE so decided to go with it.I wish you good luck!
