brent Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 I have bid up to $61 using my three rebids but no luck. Am I bidding too early? How high should I bid? Thanks for your help.
thereuare Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 I don't think you're bidding high enough... some hotels in this area are showing sold-out for these dates.What is your maximum bid? Where and how much would you be pay if not successful with the opaque suppliers? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
brent Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Posted May 27, 2006 I guess I would be willing to pay up to $100. I would like to stay in the N. MIchigan Ave. area. I am attending a wedding and the wedding hotel is charging $114 and it is not even a good hotel so I am trying to find my own accomodations. I checked you convention website and it is not showing anything for those dates. Any idea why places are sold out? THanks for your help!
AaronJB Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 While Hotwire is offering prices over $100 for a bunch of different hotels (including what appear to be the Palmer House and the Chicago Hilton, but those are in the Loop area), prices don't look *too bad*. While no guarantees, I would be surprised if you didn't get anything for under $100, but I definitely think you will likely need to come quite a bit closer to $100 (probably somewhere around in the $80-85 range and maybe a few dollars higher.)
brent Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks you very much. When do you think is the best time to bid? Should I wait until we get closer to August?
AaronJB Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 I think you should start trying now, but if you don't get anything, you may want to space out your bidding a *little bit* instead of re-attempting every 24 hours.
