Khickman32 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm needing help on bidding for a 3* + hotel in one of the following areas: Hollywood, Downtown, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or West Hollywood. I would like to keep the cost below $150 but would be willing to go up to $200. I'm assuming these areas are the best for tourists, as my husband and I are traveling down the coast of California from San Francisco to San Diego. Thanks for any help you can provide!

thereuare Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! I have gone as high as $175/nite with the strategy below as i think it may take up to that much, but you are of course free to stop at whatever amount you're comfortable with. When bidding 3* in the Los Angeles area you have THREE re-bid zones available. 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* Hollywood and Beverly Hills... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* DT and Santa Monica... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* West Hollywood and Santa Monica...

Khickman32 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just to make sure I understand rebid zones...if I am rebidding on a 4* hotel I need to find any areas that do not have a 4 star hotel. Correct? Link to comment
yellowdog Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Just to make sure I understand rebid zones...if I am rebidding on a 4* hotel I need to find any areas that do not have a 4 star hotel. Correct?Yes, this is correct. The zone you use as a re-bid zones shouldn't have hotels higher rated then 3.5* if bidding 4*. And always double-check your zones before each bidding cycle to make sure that nothing has changed since previously checking. Feel free to post you re-zones if you would like the board to confirm them.

Khickman32 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sorry i forgot to follow up on this. We ended up not booking a hotel through PRICELINE, because we couldn't find a hotel in the area we wanted for the price. Link to comment
