vash Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Hi,Need advice for bidding on a 4* hotel in the Disneyland area, staying three nights (06/17 - 06/19). Would dearly like the Hyatt Regency, but will take what comes. Prepared to spend up to $150 per night (cheaper the better, though).Cheers for any help,Darren
thereuare Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 There is no 4* bidding available in the Disneyland zone.This also implies that you may not be familiar with re-bidding, if not, you should give Priceline Re-Bidding Explained a read and ask any questions that you have.Do you want to try for a 3*?

vash Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 You caught me out...I've read about re-bidding, and understand the concept, but this is my first time doing this so...Yeah 3* is fine - I'm used to Australia, where a Hyatt or Hilton would be classified as a 4*.
thereuare Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Rates are a little higher than usual for these dates, but with time on your side, i would proceed as follows, using your three re-bid zones:Select 3* Disneyland...Bid $48, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $52, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

vash Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 No luck...what's next? Wait awhile or keep bidding?
thereuare Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 In 24 hours from your last rejected bid i'd try again as follows:Select 3* Disneyland...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70.If the above is rejected i would hold off for a bit.Let us know how it goes.
