Priceline Hotel: Bidding strategy help please

[albalad]

Hi there

Being new to both this site and Priceline , I thought I would ask for help.

I'm looking for a 5* hotel in las rambles south area of Barcelona between 12th - 16th may 2013

I placed one bid yesterday for £68 ($100) which was declined , I think I know which areas I should include in my rebid but would like someone more experienced to confirm.

I'm not fussed by which 5* I get as the price is more important to me

I clicked through to PRICELINE using the link on this site

Ay help appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

.... I think I know which areas I should include in my rebid but would like someone more experienced to confirm.

If you post which areas you think are OK for free rebidding, someone will double check your list. It is vital that bidders know how to determine the OK zones themselves. Changes do occur and one needs to re-determine the OK zones before every bidding session.

Hi thanks for the replies and welcome

I would like to spend less than £90 per night if possible ?

The areas I suspect as being able to rebid on are zone 1 - university , zone 9 - airport & possibly zone 3 - forum sant marti

I'm glad we did this exercise. You could have ended up out in a zone you didn't want.

You've got one in your list that doesn't belong, and there are actually 5 good ones at the 5* level.

In the FAQs there are instructions for determining the OK rebid zones. If it still doesn't make sense, please post back and you'll get guided further.
