lucyred Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Looking for some bidding help for an airport location hotel. HW and PL express deals are both listed at $88 for either 3* or 3.5*. Is it possible to get it for anything less? Ideally I'd like to spend less then $100 with tax since we have an early morning flight on the 7th and probably won't spend much time there. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 You can sometimes undercut the PRICELINE EXPRESS rate by a few dollars (but not that much)... what would be your maximum bid if bidding on PRICELINE? Did you want to first try for a 3.5* up to your maximum bid OR do you want to try for a less expensive 3* property for this nite?Let us know the information above and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lucyred Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 3* would be fine. I guess max bid would be $80-$85 for either since I'd like to try to keep it under $100 total. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 When bidding 3* in this zone you have ONE 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 3* Airport...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try, once again using the PRICELINE link from the board (and NOT any links in any emails PRICELINE may send informing you that you're eligible to bid again):Select 3* Airport...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

lucyred Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Tried the 3.5* for $70 & $75 both rejected, not surprised but worth a shot. Will try again tomorrow. Link to comment

thereuare Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not sure of your needs for this stay but the Downtown zone and the Airport zone are fairly close together in this region, and PRICELINE EXPRESS (using the link and code in my signature) has what appears to be the 3.5* Riverside Hotel for $81/nite should this work for your needs. If interested let us know and i'll provide further details.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

lucyred Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes that would work. Just trying to stay as closes as possible to the airport for under a $100 since we have an early morning flight the next day. How long is that code good for?Thanks a bunch. Link to comment
lucyred Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I see the code works for the airport express deal so I might just go ahead and book that. I didn't even notice the link and code in your signature area. Thanks again! Link to comment
lucyred Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Did the PRICELINE EXPRESS for the 3* FL airport location and got the Cambria Suites Ft. Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport.Price was $88 + $18.20 tax - $8.80 for the discount for a total of $97.40. I am happy about the price and location. Seems to be a nice hotel in Dania Beach.Thanks again for your help!! Love saving a couple bucks anyway I can! Link to comment
