jbush Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looking for 1 room 7/18/2014 thru 7/21/2014 in French Quarter or Downtown New Orleans. Preferable 3.5* or higher with a budget of $90 a night. Can you provide a good bidding strategy. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Did you want to first try for a 4* hotel up to your limit in these two zones, then if rejected try at the 3.5* level... OR is the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip? Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

thereuare Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 When bidding 3.5* in New Orleans you have THREE 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. Select 3.5* Downtown... Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $68, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* French Quarter... Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $68, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* Downtown and French Quarter... Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $78 If the above is rejected, PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 3.5* hotel in the Downtown zone: Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center The rate is $84/nite, but the discount link and code in my signature takes an additional 5% OFF, bringing this one down to $80/nite. 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.
