lostandconfused Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Hi folks, Looking for rebid advice for securing a room in Yorkville for two nights in May (16/05 - 18/05). Tried a speculative bid of $90 that was rejected, but wasn't sure of the safe rebid zones for 4* hotels in Yorkville... is this right? - Airport West- Brampton- Burlington- Don Valley- East- Lakeshore- Markham- Mississauga- Scarborough- Oakville- Vaughn Many thanks!
thereuare Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Where did you come up with 'Lakeshore' as i'm not seeing any zone by that name listed on PRICELINE for this region. Try the following: 1) Use the PRICELINE search box on the upper right of this page, enter 'Toronto' and your dates, and click "GO". 2) List each zone that is offered in this region. 3) Next to each zone list the highest star rating offered in the zone. The way to determine the highest star rating offered in the zone is by selecting the first zone i the list, then scrolling down to see the highest star rating selectable (ie- not greyed out). NEXT UNcheck the selected zone, place a checkmark in the next zone, and repeat the process for each zone in the region. Each time you take note of the highest star rating in the zone, make sure that only ONE zone is selected above. 4) post your findings and we'll take it from there Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lostandconfused Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks... Lakeshore came from the Priceline hotel list Just has the 3* Four Points Lakeshore listed... but perhaps the list isn't authoritative! Will use the widget and report back with results...
lostandconfused Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Posted March 27, 2014 Going down the PriceLine list, I found that Markham now has a 4* listed, and Lakeshore isn't there anymore. Plus "Toronto West" is now an area for rebid as well, giving me 10 in total: - Airport West- Brampton- Burlington- Don Valley- Mississauga- Scarborough- Oakville- Toronto West- Toronto East- Vaughn Off we go...
thereuare Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 As per the comments at the top of the Priceline Hotel List you should NEVER use the hotel lists to determine your re-bid zones, the only method that should be used is the one detailed here: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained As per your last post you have your current re-bid zones correct, but always double check to make sure that nothing has changed since you last checked. Using your TEN re-bid zones you can try bidding as follows: Select 4* Downtown North-Yorkville... Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $93, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $98, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110 If the above is rejected PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel offered in this zone with: Indoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Business Center, Fitness Center ... the price is $117/nite but the discount link and code in my signature gives an extra 5% OFF bringing this down to $111/nite and you can take this offer if your bidding above fails. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

lostandconfused Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks again - the PRICELINE EXPRESS link gave me the option of $121/night (US$281.34 inc taxes, fees and SPRING14 discount). Ended up putting in one final bid at $116/night having used up all 10 rebid zones and got the win - final price of US$276.64 inc taxes/fees... not a bad deal for a long weekend in May!
thereuare Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Congratulations on your success! Happy to see you're pleased with the deal you received and are looking forward to your trip.
