chaodoze Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Willing to spend up to $220. Prefer mid-town locations. What should my strategy be?Thanks,chao Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Welcome to BetterBidding!Would you like to try for a 4* up to your maximum bid, and then if that fails, try for a 3*... or are you looking for the least expensive hotel you can get at 3* or better?Which locations are you willing to bid: MTE, MTW, UM/CPS, MTS?

thereuare Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Rates are very high for these dates. I would bid as follows:At the 3* level you have one re-bid zone 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* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS and MTE...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and MTE...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS and UM/CPS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and MTS...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTE...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and MTS and UM/CPS...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and MTS and MTE...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTE and MTW...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTE and MTS...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTE and MTW and MTS...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185.I would start with the above, but given prices it wouldn't surprise me if the above is rejected. If that is the case, we'll revise the strategy for another round of bidding in 24 hours which then goes up to your maximum bid.Any question feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
