Priceline Hotel: Bidding Assistance PDX 3.5 star

[smokeythebandit]

Been looking at other wins on this board and it seems about 70 is the sweet spot for a 3.5 star at the airport

Looking for a hotel at the Airport August 9 - 12th

Used your link tried some bids all the way up to 76 for a 3.5 star, and was going to try 3 star next. Cant bid again until tomorrow, any ideas what I should start off with?

Id prefer a 3.5 star if possible if the price isnt to high, but a 3 star is ok as well.

Im hoping the last minute bids will help

Thanks

For the 3.5 star my max would be 80 and for the 3 star 65, I was also trying a 3.5 star in Vancouver Washington up to 76 with no luck

thanks

Done!

So are you willing to bid for a 3.5* hotel in both PDX or Vancouver up to $80... if that is rejected are both zones acceptable at the 3* level or only one of them?

While i don't think you're too far away from a 3.5* win (perhaps $80-95) and perhaps $80 will b enough, you're not really giving yourself too much of a window of opportunity by only bidding $4 more then your previously rejected bid, are you sure you want to stick with $80 as a maximum bid.

Please confirm the above and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

im willing to accept a 3.5 star in either zone, but for a 3 star I would only accept the airport.

The 80 would be the highest I would want to got

thanks

When bidding 3.5* in Portland you have have NINE re-bid zones.... at the 3* level only ONE 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 3.5* PDX and Vancouver...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $80

If the above is rejected and you then want to try for a 3* hotel in only the PDX zone up to $65, you can bid:

Select 3* PDX...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65

Any questions feel free to ask.
