wamblej Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 I am looking for a 3-4* hotel in SF Fisherman's Wharf area. I have been unsuccessful bidding 140-190 for 4* and up to 165 for 3*. If I could get any advice on bidding tips (I have done multiple areas for the 4* by including many areas in the rebid that do not have a 4*) that would be great. Thanks.
AaronJB Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding.What would be your desired budget per night for this stay and are you only interested in FW?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
wamblej Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 My desired budget if a 4 star would be under $200, and for a 3 star under $170. Ideally it would be in FW, however I would probably do Union Square West. Marina is an ok location too, but they do not have any of the nicer hotels. Thanks.
thereuare Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 So what do you want to try next.. a 4* up to your $200/nite limit?If that fails, do you then want to try for a 3.5* or 3* hotel in the FW zone OR try for a 4* hotel in the USW zone? Do you include the Marina when bidding USW or is that not until later? Is USE not acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

wamblej Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Posted October 23, 2013 I think up the 200/night limit, and then stay in the same area for 3.5 or 3 star. I prefer not to reach the 200/night limit though if I don't have to as after tax that ends up being more like 230/night.
thereuare Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 At current rates this is going to take very near, or more, than your $200 limit. When bidding in San Francisco you have SIX re-bid zones at the 4* level, FIVE re-bid zones at the 3.5* level, and ONE re-bid zone at the 3* 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.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)I would start with the following:Select 4* FW...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone2 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone3 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone4 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone5 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* FW and re-bid zone6...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone2 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone3 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone4 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone5 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $200, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* FW...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone2 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone3 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone4 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $175, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* FW and re-bid zone5...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone1 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone2 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone3 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone4 and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $200, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3* FW...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Bid $160Start with the above and if rejected we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.
