ajmishler Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi There! I'm new to the forum and bidding travel sites, however, did read the how-to's and understand the concepts discussed. I'm trying to book a trip and am looking at Kauai for the week of Feb 10 or Feb 17. Can anyone help me with a specific bidding strategy for Kauai? What to start for price, etc? Looked like there were a few getting good prices at the Sheraton?Thanks much in advance!Adam Link to comment

ajmishler Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks! I've clicked on both of the links and will use the links for searching and bidding. I'm looking for 4* or greater, would like to pay 150 or less if at all possible though would consider 175-200 if necessary.Thank you!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Are you looking for the full week (2/10-2/17 or 2/17-2/24) and your dates are flexible that you can choose whichever is less expensive? The week of Feb 17-24 may be a little better since it does not include Valentine's Day, which is historically a very busy nite for hotels.Which zone(s) within Kaui are you willing to accept? Did you want to try one set of dates up to your $150 limit, then try the other set of dates up to your $150 limit, and if each are rejected then try up to $175 and then up to $200?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

ajmishler Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Any of the zones are ok with us, as are either of the weeks. We are pretty flexible across both of those weeks. Avoiding valentines day makes sense to me, really just looking for the best value. Starting at 150 and going up from there makes sense to me.Thanks. Link to comment

thereuare Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 You can start by bidding as follows for 2/17-2/24:Select 4* Kapaa...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Poipu...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Princeville...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Kapaa and Poipu...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Kapaa and Princeville...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Kapaa, Poipu, Princeville...Bid $150If the above is rejected you can then repeat for the dates of 2/10-2/17If both of the above are rejected i'll add that what appears to be the Kauai Beach Resort is offered on HOTWIRE for $130/nite (4* on HOTWIRE / 3.5* on PRICELINE) but may be worth the savings/lower priced if you think this property will suit your needs.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
