Priceline Hotel: downtown MIA 2/28 1 night bid help needed

[mckelveyesquire]

I am failing miserably on PRICELINE bidding for 1 night after a cruise in downtown Miami on Friday night February 28. I have completed 21-25 failed bids for 2.5 and up, bidding in downtown, then using the three South Beach zones as additional rebids. I am current up to $90 on failed bids. I tracked a year's worth of reported wins on this site in downtown and 7 different hotels had accepted wins at 90 or less. Any help?

It would be appreciated if you used the previously requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin all of your bidding, searches, and travel purchases.

Thank you.

I clicked on your links. Unfortunately, still no success today, denied up to $96 downtown for 2.5* and up, adding in South Beach Central, Ocean Drive and Collins as rebid zones. The entire Hilton seems unavailable, which is killing this bid as it was the most successful hotel downtown with accepted bids reported on this site recently for $60, $65 and $78.

Would the South Beach zone(s) be acceptable to you for this stay should you have been accepted in either of them?

Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com, what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel in the area for these dates?

Do you have any back-up plan?
