thereuare Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Did you want to first try for a 5* hotel up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 4*... or is the goal the least expensive 4* hotel for this trip?Let us know the above and we'll suggest a bidding strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

frankie Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Posted September 12, 2013 good question sorry for not providing a better perspective .. I can go upto my limit for 5* first and then if rejected drop down the level and hopefully the price although I am not holding my breath for the latter to happen
thereuare Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 When bidding 5* in London you have FOUR re-bid zones... none at the 4* level. 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.I would try the following:Select 5* Westminster...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 5* Mayfair-Soho...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 5* Bloomsbury...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 5* Westminster and Mayfair-Soho...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 5* Westminster and Bloomsbury...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 5* Westminster and Mayfair-Soho and Bloomsbury...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $193, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $198, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200If the above is rejected (likely) close the browser and once again use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Westminster...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Mayfair-Soho...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Bloomsbury...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Westminster and Mayfair-Soho...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Westminster and Bloomsbury...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Westminster and Mayfair-Soho and Bloomsbury...Bid $115I would then repeat over the next 2-3 days but changing the 4* bids to ($120/$125/$130... $135/$140/$145... $150/$153/$155)If the above is still rejected there is THIS 4* HOTEL (check dates and number of rooms on the landing page) on PRICELINE EXPRESS in the Westminster zone with Restaurant, Fitness for $157/nite.Since you're bidding for a longer stay and need 6 rooms one concern i did have is the $157 PRICELINE EXPRESS deal disappearing on you while you try the 4* bidding over the next 2-3 days... so depending upon your own comfort level, if you feel that you need to get this done asap you could skip the lower bids at the 4* level so that you get to $150's sooner (and take the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer is rejected)Hope you followed the process above, but if not, feel free to ask any questions you may have.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. (and not the links in any emails that PRICELINE may send letting you know that you're able to bid again)Good luck and let us know how it goes.
