PartyGirl Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi! I used the Priceline links to search for a room in Hawaii- Oahu, Waikiki Beach area. My travel dates are 8/4 to 8/11 (3 nights).The express deals offers $144 for a hotel.Business Center, Restaurant, Free Internet, Pool. I didn't see a resort fee, so I'm not sure if Beachcomber or Aston. Any guesses? I have a bit of time so I think I'll bid for a few days on a 4 star first. I haven't seen a lot of wins on here for this area so I'm not sure where to start. Was thinking $120 but I don't want to go to low or overbid either. I'd also be willing to take a 3 star of course, but there are quite a few hotels and I haven't researched all of them yet. If I'm unlucky and get up to $144 with the 4 stars, I'll check out the 3s and maybe start bidding again. Any suggestions for a bidding strategy: Beach area only. for the 4 star first. Thanks!

thereuare Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Please start by following-up your previous Hotwire Philadelphia and Montego Bay threads with whatever you decided to do for each of those trips. Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans. My travel dates are 8/4 to 8/11 (3 nights).Then confirm the dates of your stay (as the stay above is 7 nites, not 3 nites) and we will have a look at rates for your dates. 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. Thanks.

PartyGirl Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 My travel dates for Oahu- Waikiki Beach are 8/11-8/14. I apologize for the confusion, I have another trip on those dates and mixed up the two. I wish I was going to be in Hawaii for a whole week!! Link to comment

thereuare Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I assume the zone you're bidding is the 'Waikiki Beach Area' and the other beach zones (Central Waikiki Beach, Waikiki Beach Marina - Ala Moana Area, etc) are not acceptable? Current rates are a bit high for your dates and i don't think you'll be successful for a 4* hotel in this zone for these dates. If you want to give it a try, when bidding 4* in the Waikiki region you have FOUR 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 4* Waikiki Beach... Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $150 Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
