nyc621 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Hello, I'm new so I hope I'm posting this correctly! I have tried on priceline starting at 75, 85, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130 and none have worked. I'm trying to book for 3/16/07 to 3/20/07. Can anyone help? Should I split my bids? I definitely don't want to have to switch hotels.Thanks so much for your help!
thereuare Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Can you raise your budget another $5 as that may make the difference. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
nyc621 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 that's possible. so i will try 135.
nyc621 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 I went to 135 and got thisWe searched hundreds of options to find your hotel room, however we can't accept your offer of $135 per room, per night. If you are willing to raise your price by $22, you can try the same request again right now. What do I do?
thereuare Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 What is the most that you're willing to spend on a 5* in this zone?Do you have any re-bid zones left? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
nyc621 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 don't thnk you can rebid in zone b/c sydney only has city center and then airport. There is a 5 star in the airport area, so don't think I can use the free bid. i really don't want to go higher than 140/night.
thereuare Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I'd try $137 next (but you'll have to wait it out because they won't let you submit an amount lower than the counter-offer they've suggested). Tomorrow, i would try $137, as i think you're very close, and may just take a tad more due to currency fluctuations.
