nicksd Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I saw somewhere here that Victoria, BC only has 1 free bidding zone for 4* as I tried to bid 2 nights 4/1-4/3 couple nights ago but last night I saw 3 free bidding zones. Do you see the same thing? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Re-bid zones can, and do, change anytime a new hotels are added/removed/upgraded/downgraded, or when zones are added or sud-divided, which is why we always recommend that you know how to check your re-bid zones, rather than just list them (since they should be checked before you start every bidding cycle to make sure that nothing has changed) In regards to your post above, you are correct, that there are currently THREE re-bid zones available when bidding 4* in Victoria. If you'd like help with a bidding strategy let us know your maximum bid for this trip and we'll have a look at rates for your dates.

nicksd Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I bid $70 last night and was rejected, I didn't bid anymore because having additional zones really caught me by surprise. By the way, I did not see any 4* available in Priceline.Express last night, it's $89 4* this morning and now $81 with 5%. What should I do? Thanks Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm seeing the 4* for $80. SPRING14 coupon brings it down to $76 a night. If $70 was the last failed bid, you could try $71, $73, $75 and then if those aren't taken, grab the $76 (after coupon price.) Or just lock in the express deals listing. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
nicksd Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I went ahead and bid 3 rooms 4* , 2 night, 4/1-4/3 starting at $65, $68, $71, $74 using all free bid zones, all bids were rejected. Ended up using Priceline.Express deal 5% off and got Inn at Laurel Point for $76/night ($80-5%) using Bidding.Helper Link. I tried to edit thread title to reflect my winning but was not able to do that. Thanks Link to comment
