markadam Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hello;I am going to a meeting at the Wyndham Arlington - DFW Airport South hotel. The rate is $125. I would like to find a hotel close to this one. Can you please give me some insight as to which area to bid on.Thanks.Mark Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Look at this hotel on a map and then compare to Priceline's zones.Once you figure out which zone(s) you're willing to bid we can suggest a strategy to use going forward.

markadam Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello;I would like help with the pricing strategy for Dallas (Arlington Grand Prarie). They have 1,2,2.5 and 3 stars. I would like a 3 star. There are only 2 other areas in Dallas that have lower star ratings (East Sallas and Fort Worth) so there are a limited number of re-bids.Thank you for your help.Mark Link to comment
markadam Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Oops, March 27th for 4 nights. Thanks.Mark Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 We wouldn't want to suggest a strategy that was higher then you wanted to pay... what is your maximum bid?Is this for the same stay as your other ARLINGTON thread? (if so, please don't start new topics for the same stay, continue your existing thread; if not, please follow-up that thread)Also, please follow-up your previous PRICELINE NYC thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay.

markadam Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Man oh man, I haven't been doing to well at this lately. Sorry. I've replied to the NYC post. Also, sorry for switching up the threads on this one.OK, so Hotwire has a 3* for $79 per night. It is a different hotel than the ones listed for priceline, but given that, I think that keeping it under $79 would be a good start.Thanks. Mark Link to comment
