Priceline Hotel: Paris - 2 days in March

[dw24]

Hi

I am a newby to this forum, although I have tried both HOTWIRE and PRICELINE in the past (usually unsuccessfully as my bids have not been accepted). Your help would be appreciated in helping me improve my strategy.

I would like to go to Paris for 2 nights (Mar 14-16). My preferred areas are Princeline's

1. Opera Quarter West (my clear first choice) followed by

2. Champs Elysee - Arc de Triomphe,

3. Champs Eylsee -Etoile.

My Hotwire choices would be

1. Opera Garnier - Galeries Lafayette and

2. North of Champs Elysees.

I would like at least a 3 star, and my top bid would be $150 per night.

Any suggestions? I am not sure if I have provided all the information required so please let me know if something is missing.

Thanks

The high the stars the better. I would prefer a 4+ star level but will drop to a 3 star if necessary.

Are you willing to pay more to stay in your first choice of zone OR is the first objective the least expensive 4* hotel in any of these zones?

Please confirm and we will advise accordingly.

I would prefer to stay in my first choice area, and will pay more to do so.

When bidding 4* in Paris you have FIVE 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 4* Opera Quarter West...

Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $150

If the above is rejected, pricelline.express currently has a 4* hotel in this zone for $166/nite (only showing Pets Allowed, Free Internet)... but if you use the link and code in my signature you get an extra 5% OFF bringing this room rate down to $158 and worth the extra $8/nite to stay at a 4* in the zone you want? The coupon expires tonite (2/6) so you'll need to try the bidding above and then make a decision if you want the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer with the extra 5% OFF.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
