iqdarko Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Hey guys, I am about to bid for a 2 night, 3 room stay.Looking for South beach area, Hopefully 4.5-5 Star hotels...What is the lowest bid I can put? and can you identify what I might get?Thanks in advance!!! :)
AaronJB Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Just to confirm - 7/21-23?You can see the hotels reported to the board here: Priceline Hotel List Florida. If you bid on a particular zone/star rating, you have to be willing to accept any hotel at the chosen star rating in the chosen zone.What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
iqdarko Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 Hi thanks for your help!Yes, Check in 21st and check out 23rd of July.I was thinking of the South Beach area, ocean front if possible, around $120-$130.. again, if possible! :-)
thereuare Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 There are three 'South Beach' zones:South Beach - Central South Beach - Collins Avenue OceanfrontSouth Beach - Ocean DrivePlease indicate which of these you want to include in your first round of bidding and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.Also, are you looking to bid at the 5* level up to your maximum bid, then if rejected try for a 4.5* property... or is the goal the least expensive 4.5* or better for this trip?Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

iqdarko Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 all 3 are fine with me.. but to narrow it down lets say South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront :)I dont mind getting a 4.5*, thats also great... was thinking 5* but if there arent any for my price level 4.5* will do just fine..Thanks again for all your help!!!
thereuare Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 I don't think your budget is enough for a 4.5* or better hotel in this (or perhaps any South Beach zone) for these dates.If you want to give it a try, when bidding 4.5* in Miami you have TEN 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 4.5* South Beach Collins Avenue Oceanfront...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, 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 add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130If the above is rejected you can close the current browser, use this link to re-access PRICELINE, and retry the same with just the South Beach Ocean Drive zone OR just the South Beach Central zone OR bid BOTH the Oceanfront and Central zones together.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.
