marleejean Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 I would like to bid with PL for our stay in FW April 19th - 22nd. Any advise would be appreciated. We would like a 3 star but would settle for 2 1/2 star. I have bid with PL before, just wanted to know what your strategy would be. Love this site!! Thanks!!
thereuare Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 What is your maximum bid? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
marleejean Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Posted December 18, 2006 That's what I'm not sure about. For a 3*, around $80.00?? For a 2 1/2* around $60.00??Thanks for any advise.
thereuare Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 You have one re-bid zones when bidding 3* in San Francisco. 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* Wharf...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70.If the above is rejected, in 24 hours:Select 3* Wharf...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80.Given rates for these dates i'm doubtful you'll be successful, that that's what i would try given your limit.

Carol1314 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Marleejean, did you ever find anything? I am looking for around the same date, April 19. My friend is looking for April 16 to 19. Hope you post if you get a hotel from this site. Thanks, Carol
thereuare Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Carol1314,My guess is that the OP is not coming back to folow-up this thread :) If you need help with your own stay please start a NEW TOPIC with the details (dates, desired star rating, maximum bid amount, etc) of your stay.Thanks.

marleejean Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Posted January 26, 2007 I'm baaaack!! Just went on Priceline today.....again. I started bidding (through SavingsBarn.com) at $80.00 for a 3* in FW. They countered with "if I raise it up another $22.00, I could get it." I used my free rebid ( Civic Center) upped the price to $90.00 and got the Tuscan Inn....which I truly wanted because a bunch of our friends will be staying there pre-cruise. 3 nights at the Tuscan....their going price for those days are $164 + taxes per night... my total for 3 nights with taxes and priceline fees.....$319.39. Yippppeeeeee.....I'm a happy camper!Hope this helps the above poster, Carol......thanks!
thereuare Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Congratulations on your win... glad to hear it worked out well for you and we were able to help.Thanks for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay and cruise!

marleejean Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Posted January 26, 2007 Actually, we're not going on the cruise.......but about 80 "Cruise Addicts" are. We're just visiting with them for 3 days, then going to Santa Clara to visit our daughter. Love this site....and yes, I did use the savingsbarn link. Didn't have any luck with Santa Clara hotels today, but will keep trying.
