giadav Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 I Feel like I haven't done this in a while. We are looking to bid on 2 hotel rooms for Sedona 1 night stay. We are a little flexible. It can be Friday 9/13 or Saturday 9/14. I don't think we want to spend more than $125 and no less than a 3*. Is this realistic? Any strategy suggestions? Thanks.
thereuare Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 The above should be do-able... did you want to first try for a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5* hotel up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3*... OR is the objective the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?I'll also add that what i believe to be the Poco Diablo Resort is offered on HOTWIRE for $125/nite, should this property work well for your plans and you prefer to take the HOTWIRE offer and try to target this property.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

giadav Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Posted September 3, 2013 I saw the HOTWIRE option. Good to know what property you thought it was. Definitely want to use Priceline in hopes of targeting a 4* with the max price of $125 but would "settle" for a 3* at that price or less. We have decided on 2 rooms for Friday 9/13 for 1 night. Your suggested strategy is appreciated. Thank you.
thereuare Posted September 3, 2013 Report Posted September 3, 2013 Unfortunately there are few re-bid zones and you don't have that much time.When bidding 4* in Sedona you have ONE re-bid zone... none at the 3.5* or 3* levels. 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.To begin i would try the following:Select 4* Sedonda...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone.Bid $125If the above is rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* Sedona...Bid $110Any questions feel free to ask. If both of the above are rejected just post back and we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

giadav Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 Thank you. The above strategy was rejected. The 3 1/2* for $115 came back and said that if I bid an additional $48 now, it would be accepted. I later bid $125 and won Poco Diablo Resort. Once again, that you for another amazing PRICELINE experience. :)
