metzcloud Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 We are looking for a room downtown if possible. Traveling with my 11 year old, so pool would be nice. Am flexible to some extent to location, so suburbs are an option, but loop is more desirable. Would not need a rental car if downtown. We are doing the museum, pier things. Want to aim for $100/night. Looks like a larger convention is in town (25k). Any Suggestions appreciated. Would not be able to split if downtown without vehicle. :) Frequent user of your site, and book through Savings Barn. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 It sounds as if there will be three of you... i'm assuming your ok that priceline only guarantees double occupancy?What about the NMA area, would that be ok too?What is your maximum bid?

metzcloud Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 NMA is fine. I know that there would be available in Western Suburbs. It is just the two of us. I am looking for $100/night or less. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah, rates are high for these dates so it may be a very tough win. I would try as follows, using your two 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* Loop...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone..Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access pricelnie however you did previously.Select 4* Loop and NMA...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone..Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access pricelnie however you did previously.Select 4* Loop and NMA...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access pricelnie however you did previously.Select 4* Loop and NMA and re-bid zone2...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100.The above will systematically take you up to your maximum bid.Good Luck and let us know how ti goes.

metzcloud Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Tried two days straight with your rebid strategy, for downtown areas. I am up to $107/night, wtih two free rebids for both NMA and Millenium area. No Luck yet. Will give it a rest, and try again in a few days. Best Hotwire rate for 4* is Any idea what "boutiques" are from a class standpoint. They between 3 and 4 stars. Thanks. Link to comment
