LaBrigitteFly Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Hello! I'm a first time poster and I'm hoping you could help with a bidding strategy Dates: Feb 12-13 Zones:South Beach - CentralSouth Beach - Collins Ave OceanfrontSouth Beach - Ocean DriveMiami DowntownMinimum star:3 starsMaximum bid:$125 (if possible) Thank you!
thereuare Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages (which will also remove the red box at the top of the page asking you to do the same) At current rates i'm doubtful that a 3* or better in one of these zones will be successful (at the moment i think you will more likely need to be in the $150-$170 range for a hotel in these zones), but if you'd like to give it a try you can bid as follows: Select 3* SB Central... Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* SB Collins... Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* SB Ocean Drive... Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* Downtown... Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* SB Central and SB Collins... Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* SB Ocean Drive and Downtown... Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3* SB Central and SB Ocean Drive...

LaBrigitteFly Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Hi! Wanted to close the loop on this. You were right, I couldn't win a bid... I went as high as $150 and no success. I may have another trip for March and may ask for your help again. Thank you so much!
thereuare Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Thank you for closing this thread. So did you change your destination or have you decided not to travel for this nite?

LaBrigitteFly Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Hi I was hoping you help me know which hotel this may be... Hotwire, $196, 4* Star, Central South Beach - Convention Center area: AmenitiesFree InternetBoutique hotelNear beachAirport shuttlePool(s)Golf nearby thanks!
thereuare Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Please keep all posts for the sames stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the top right corner of this thread to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. For this 4 star property I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 4 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates: Free Internet Boutique Near Beach Shuttle Pool Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ... if this is what you're seeing the Riviera Suites would be my best guess for this one. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

thereuare Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the compliments on the BiddingHelper.com... we're glad to hear you like it. :) Are both of the properties above 4* rated?

LaBrigitteFly Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 I forgot the stars! Yes, both are 4*
thereuare Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 The amenities of the South Beach Ocean Drive North property match previous reports for the Breakwater South Beach, but i have reason to think this may be a different property with the same amenity set, so i'm not about about this one. My guess for the Ocean Drive SOUTH property would be the Pelican Hotel.
