willwill02 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi,Any Suggestions?- I'm looking to do a 4* (or if need be 3*) hotel anywhere in San Diego, 12/11/06, 12/12/06. - I am somewhat flexible on the days (can shift one day forward or one day backward), but would ideally like 12/11 and 12/12 (two nights)- What's the best way to do this for the best price? My main concern is price.Priceline it the morning of 12/11? I'm already familiar with the adding more locations that don't have 4* as choices method of bidding. Should I wait up to the very last minute? Any thoughts?Thanks... Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 What is your maximum bid for a 4* property before switching to 3*? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
willwill02 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sorry, I should have said that before.I'm thinking...$85. Maybe that's not realistic. But hey, let's be optimistic! Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 When bidding 4* in San Diego you have 11 re-bid zones. 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* Coronado, Downtown/Harbor Island, and Coastal...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $67, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $88, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90.I've gone up to $90 since that is sometimes the difference between success and failure, but you can stop at $85 if that is your absolute maximum.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

willwill02 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Sorry, I never followed up! I had to look through my old e-mail, and I have the following rejects from Priceline. For some reason, I don't have an e-mail saved for the actual offer, but I do have my credit card statement:Bid $50, $55, $60, $65, $67, $70, $73 --> All rejectedHilton San Diego ResortCheck-In Date: Mon, Dec 11, 2006 Check-In Time: Can't Remember!Check-Out Date: Wed, Dec 13, 2006 Check-Out Time: Can't Remember!Final price for two nights, which includes all taxes, etc... (my credit card statement) was: $198.30. I did not order any extras, so this is just the final bill for lodging.For future postings, I'll be sure to keep the info and post back to this helpful forum.

bbbb Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 You should be able to go into my trips on PL and see all of your winning bids. Link to comment
willwill02 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 You should be able to go into my trips on PL and see all of your winning bids.I tried, but it said that they do not have the records for the transaction anymore. I'm guessing this is so because it was so old. I know Orbitz keeps tracks of all your past trips and transactions. I think Priceline should too. Link to comment
