brandyhenicke Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 This will be my first time bidding on Priceline. My travel dates are 7/21-7/23. I am looking for a hotel in the Medical Center but one in the La Cantera or Sea World areas would be acceptable as well. What would be a good starting bid for a 3.5* hotel? Thanks in advance!
AaronJB Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay? Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
brandyhenicke Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 While researching non-bidding websites I've found rates from $60-80 per night for comparable hotels. So, I would prefer a rate lower than that. Thank you for replying!
thereuare Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 When bidding 3.5* in the San Antonio zone you have TWELVE 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* Medical Center, SeaWorld, La Cantera... Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $38, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $43, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $48, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $52, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $54, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $56, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60 If the above is rejected PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 3.5* hotel in the Medical Center zone for $63/nite, but using the discount link and code in my signature takes an extra 5% OFF bringing this to your $60 budget: Outdoor Pool Free Parking Business Center Any questions feel free to ask.
