miftis Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Hello,I am a new user and I want to find a good deal on a hotel for my trip to Chicago (Sept 5-10).I want to stay in the Magnificent Mile/Loop area and have a 3+ hotel.This is my second day of trying to bid and I keep getting rejected.Any hints or tips as to what I am doing wrong?
AaronJB Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What would be your desired budget per night for this stay and what bids have you made so far in terms of star rating/price/zone (Mag Mile and Loop are separate zones on PRICELINE)?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
miftis Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 It is the same zone on Priceline.I have started at the 4 1/2 star rating and have lowered that standard down to 3 each round of my re-bid.I have raised my budget from $60 to $120. I would be happy for $130 or less.
AaronJB Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 On PRICELINE, the downtown area is split into the Downtown-Loop-Grant Park zone and the River North-NMA zone. In either of these zone/s, $130 is not likely going to be enough, although $125 and $130 is certainly worth trying. A 4* in either zone is probably going to take more towards the $145-160 range.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
