annabeth Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hello there. I would like to bid for a 4* hotel in NMA for 6/25-6/28. Do you think a maximum bid of $100 per night is realistic? If so, could you suggest a bidding strategy. I did not see any major conventions going on during this time period. Thank you for your help! :) Link to comment

annabeth Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for your reply and welcome. NMA would be my first choice as I am traveling with my Mom and we plan on doing a lot of shopping. :) I have stayed at two loop properties previously, the Palmer House and the Chicago Hilton, and would be willing to stay in the loop area again, but would prefer NMA if I could get this area for under $100 per night. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 You have two re-bid zones avialable when bidding 4* in Chicago. 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* NMA...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70, if rejected closer browser and re-access priceline however you did previously....Select 4* NMA and re-bid zone2...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80.If the above fails (likely, but woth the lowball try) in 24 hours from your last rejected bid try:Select 4* NMA...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected closer browser and re-access priceline however you did previously....Select 4* NMA and re-bid zone2...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

annabeth Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Just an update on my initial bidding. I tried both bidding strategies with no luch so far. It is still about two months out so I will continue to use the strategy you suggested. Thanks for your help! Link to comment
