esmith Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 I have clicked the Priceline...and Hotwire...links from the board. I am looking for assistance identifiying the re-bid zones. I am trying to book a 3.5* or 4* Hotel in Disneyland - Anaheim Convention Center - Garden Grove for 2/28-3/4. Trying to come up with a bidding strategy but I am not sure I have the re-bid zones correct. If I want to make sure I have a 3.5* or above in the Disneyland - Anaheim Convention Center area. Can I use... Anaheim HillsAngels StadiumBuena ParkCypressLaguna BeachSeal BeachSan Clemente Thank you for your help.
yellowdog Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 No this isn't correct. You have eight (8) zones to use bidding 3.5* and up. You have only listed 7 zones and one of them is wrong. Please read this link: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained Just re-post with the zones and we'll be happy to take a look at them again. Thanx for using board's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links Yellowdog.
esmith Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Posted February 22, 2014 Clicked the links again and re-read "Priceline Re-bidding Explained". It had been awhile since I read that...good refresher. I made a mistake (thus why I was asking...I didn't want to mess up). Anaheim HillsAngels StadiumBuena ParkCypressNorth Huntington - Fountain ValleyOrangeSan ClementeSeal Beach Not sure what price to start at...Any suggestions? Express Deals are around $80/night before 5% off. Recent wins on the board appear to be around $60. Hotwire is between $71-$90. Thank you for the help!
thereuare Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 Yes, you now have your re-bid zones correct for the 3.5* level, but always double check to make sure that nothing has changed since you last looked. Not sure how high you're willing to bid before going with one of the other offers like PRICELINE EXPRESS, but here is a strategy goes up to $70/nite, you can stop at whatever amount you'd like and/or let us know your maximum bid if you'd like us to revise the strategy. Using your EIGHT re-bid zones, i would try: Select 3.5* Disneyland... Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $53, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $70 Any 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.

esmith Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Well...ran out of bids at $70. Really frustrating...I saw a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal pop-up over the weekend for considerably less than that but when I went back and clicked it...I got the 'price has been updated availability changes' message. I have a backup hotel booked directly at $90. I really thought it would be accepted at $70 but...I was wrong. The Express Deal with 5% is $76 so I can't be too far away. Out of bids...taking a breather for now. :-( Thank you for the help.
esmith Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Can you help identify this priceline.Express Deal? 3.5* Disneyland 2/28 - 3/4 $80 7+ Guest Score Pool Pets Restaurant Business Center Gym/Spa It says it has a $75 Pet Fee. I was thinking Marriott Anaheim Suites because of the pet fee...but the 7+ is throwing that off since they are 8+. Thanks.
yellowdog Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 My guess would be Sheraton Garden Grove. Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.

esmith Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Does the Pet Fee on Priceline vary vs. the Hotel? The Sheridan Garden Grove shows $150 Pet Fee on their website...so I was thinking it might be somewhere else. The Red Lion says something like $15/day so it doesn't really line up either. Sheridan Garden Grove is a definite possibility. Clicked the links again to price hotels again today. Thanks.
thereuare Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 At the Sheraton Garden Grove i'm seeing a $75 per room per stay pet fee indicated.
