Bob24 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 I know there are no hard and fast rules on when the best time to bid is due to variables. But, as a general rule, will I save more by bidding many, many months in advance or waiting until the last minute?
AaronJB Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 There are a number of factors - supply and demand being a primary - and there's really no way to know for sure. Right after 2008, there were more in the way of last minute deals. As demand has ramped, there's been less and less and plenty of examples of prices going up towards the dates. This is discussed further in the FAQ. If you need help with a specific trip, please provide the details of the stay (price per night, destination, desired zone, star rating, etc.) If you are monitoring rates for a trip you can also use our new service RateDrop.com to get an alert when PRICELINE EXPRESS, HOTWIRE, or specific hotels that you name drop in price for your trip dates. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
