TZMOM Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Would like 4* at Inner Harbor for 10/20/06 to 10/22/06. Ready to bid immediately. The 3 hotels that seem to come up on Priceline are:Hyatt ($323.00), Mariott ($319.00) and Intercontinental ($279.00). I'd be willing to be about $100-$115.00/night.I tried $80.00 a few days ago, but didn't add any re-bid zones (BWI, Baltimore West or Hunt Valley?)Any suggestions?The Red Bull Flutag is down there that weekend and my son & I would love to see it as we've missed it the past few years.Thanks! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Do you understand Priceline Re-Bidding Explained as you many more re-bids than the ones you have included above, and you'll need a firm understanding of re-bids for any strategy you suggest.Please read the above link and let us know if you can identify all your re-bid zones. If you're confused just post back and we'll take it one step at a time to make sure you understand it correctly and know how to check the zones on your own.

TZMOM Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Didn't get a 4* and yes I could have waited another month or so, but I tend to forget to do things these days and I can imagine us hitting Inner Harbor on a Friday night and no hotel ressie (it's happened before. . .)Bid according to strategy for one week, upped bid to $130.00 for 4* with no luck.Dropped to 3* and got Wyndham for $83.00 for 2 nights$83.00 x 2 = $166.00 + $30.36 tax = $196.36Website currently showing price for total of @$305. Thanks again for your help with this. Off to Red Bull Flutag!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Do you recall the amount of your previously rejected bid at the 3* level?Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
TZMOM Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I believe that I started at $70 for the 3* then finally got the Wyndham at $83.Thanks again for your help. Link to comment
