Bruno Lam Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Started my search using the PRICELINE link provided by betterbidding.I was on a 4* deluxe hotel budget on Napa Downtown North area, the PRICELINE EXPRESS showed median retail price for a 4 star hotel in the area selected is $197. Could you please help me identify this hotel and how much should i bid?Thank you.
thereuare Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you're bidding on PRICELINE (using the 'Name Your Own Price' side of their service) there is no way to guess the name of the hotel you will receive, you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you select.If you let us know your maximum bid in this zone we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Bruno Lam Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 First of all thank you for your explanation. I'd like to get a 30% discount of the medium retail price, so my maximum bidding would be around 140. Is it possible?Thank you in advance
thereuare Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Note that the median price shown by PRICELINE is often flawed so i wouldn't necessary use that as the basis for rates i the area, but if $140 is your maximum bid, you can try as follows:When bidding 4* in the Napa region you have SEVEN 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* Napa North...Bid $110, 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 $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140Any 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.
