ijon Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Hello, This is my first post on this board, and to tell you the truth, this is my first time on PRICELINE... I'm looking for a 4* hotel in the Financial District Embarcadero from June 24 2014 tip June 28 2014. So I tried yesterday on priceline and my $100 bid was rejected. Every bid from $120 to $180 (by $10 increments) was rejected My question is this: What do you think would be a reasonable bid for such hotel, at that period ? Thanks so much for your help Jon
yellowdog Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding :) It's always difficult to give an estimate but my guess would be around $200 give or take. If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post your budget/night before tax/fees, zone(s) you're willing to stay in and the star rating for the hotel. Let us know how we can help you further with your stay. Please use the PRICELINE and hot.wire links on the board to begin your purchases and searches. Yellowdog.
thereuare Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I'll also add... With rates high for these dates, are USE and/or USW acceptable as well? By including as many zones that are accepted you give more hotels the opportunity to accept your bid, which can help you get the best deal possible.

ijon Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Posted February 22, 2014 Thank you both for your reply! We would love to stay in a 4* hotel in the financial District. We stayed at the Hyatt regency before, and would have loved to get that hotel again...Staying under $190.00/night before tax would be ideal. @thereuare: I guess I will have to extend the zones, to increase chances to get one bid accepted. I suppose USE would be closer to Financial district, but we're ok with US in general. Can you help me getting my strategy in order ? Thanks again for your help ! Jon
thereuare Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 Is the gameplan to first go up to $190 for just the Financail District, then if rejected include USE and USW? If so, i would try as follows: When bidding 4* in San Francisco you have SIX 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* Financial... Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $183, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $188, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $190 If the above, is rejected, use this link to re-access PRICELINE, and re-try: Select 4* USE...
