janjesse Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi, can you please advise me on bidding for a 4* hotel in SF for 09/05 - 09/09. My max bid would be $145 and starting bid would likely be $95. I am pretty agnostic as to which zone in SF I might stay in, and I see that there are 5 zones with 4* hotels: Financial District, Fishermans Wharf, SOMA, Union Square East, and Union Square West. The cheapest deals on priceline.Express Deals right now are $198 and 219. Can you assess whether my bid might be met in the $95-145 range? And also given that we are still 3+ months out, is there an optimum time to be bidding. Thanks!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! ...I see that there are 5 zones with 4* hotels: Financial District, Fishermans Wharf, SOMA, Union Square East, and Union Square West.There are other zones with 4* hotels as well... 'Airport-Burlingame' and 'San Mateo' also have 4* properties. I assume these are not acceptable? (i also mention just to make sure you don't mistakenly use these as re-bid zones) Given current rates your $145 maximum bid would be a bit aggressive given as this would currently be near the low end of what would likely be accepted, but it's worth trying now (assuming your plans are firm) given the current discount code and link in my signature (expires tonite) since that will give you an extra 7% edge. If you're ready to give it a try, using the FIVE zones you want (that you mentioned above) you can begin 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.
