jacross Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Hello, Looking for help with bidding strategy for 3.5 and up star hotel.Dates: April 9&10Location: Disneyland-Anaheim Convention Centre - Garden GroveBudget: $100 Ahaheim Marriott 4 Star would be the goal but more interested in best chances of getting something close to Disneyland.
thereuare Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Since you're bidding for a 3.5* or higher hotel, but your preferred hotel in the zone is 4* rated, are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is the least expensive 3.5* or better your preference for this trip? Did you first want to bid up to your limit for a 4* and then, if rejected, try for a 3.5*... or try for the less expensive 3.5* from the onset? Please confirm your preference and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

jacross Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, thanks for your reply.Yes my preference is to pay more for a 4* up to a point, then try for 3.5. I couldn't figure out how to practically achieve or explain that so thanks for helping.My budget would be up to $100 for the 4* and then after that was exhausted I would switch to attempting a 3.5*
