sooperdad Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Would someone kindly suggest a bidding strategy for a hotel near the airport, prefereably with a 24-hour shuttle, for the night of 07/15/2006? Greatly appreciated!
thereuare Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Please let us know your maximum bid so that we don't suggest a strategy that goes higher thank you want to pay. We'll also need to know what star level you want... we'll then then be able to recommend a course of action. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
sooperdad Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Posted July 8, 2006 I'd be happy with one of the 3* establishments that people have been getting for around $55.
thereuare Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 When bidding 3* in this zone you have 5 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 3* Airport...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $38, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $43, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $48.I would start with the above, if rejected we'll revise for you to try again in 24 hours.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

sooperdad Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Posted July 9, 2006 Okay. I gave it a try:Selected 3* Airport...Bid $35, rejected and added re-bid zone...Bid $38, rejected and added re-bid zone...Bid $40, rejected and added re-bid zone...Bid $43, rejected and out of viable re-bid zones.Guess I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help and further advice.

sooperdad Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Posted July 9, 2006 Oh yeah, I get it now. So I went back to Priceline and continued where I left-off:added re-bid zone...Bid $45, rejected and added re-bid zone...Bid $48, rejected.
thereuare Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 After 24 hours from your last rejected bid...Select 3* Airport...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $53, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55.This will systematically take you up to your maximum bid as well as try for any lower priced inventory that may have been released in the last 24 hours.Let us know how it goes.

sooperdad Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 Finally got a room for $55. Thanks again for your help.
sooperdad Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 I neglected to mention that the hotel was the 3* Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center. Regrettably, I forgot to begin my second round of bidding on Priceline through savingsbarn.com. Sorry about that.
