travelgal Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I'd like to go no higher than $90. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 You have two re-bid zones when bidding Resort in the Tuscon area. 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 Resort North...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select Resort North and re-bid zone2...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

travelgal Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 okay, thanks. I think I understand the rebidding. Zone 1 would be Tucson Airport and Zone 2 would be Tucson East since they don't have resorts. Is that correct? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yup, you got the re-bids right! :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
travelgal Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Okay, thanks. Was looking at the three resorts websites in North Tucson and Westward Look is sold out for my dates, Omni rate is $199 and Hilton is $209 so hopefully I can win the Omni as that's the one I really want.

blindman Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Just a word of advice.The hotel web-site rates are no real indicator of which hotel you'll win on PL. :) Here's my example. Even if a hotel is 'sold out' there have been many occasions where people have won the hotel :) Have a look on HOTWIRE for your dates to see what comes up as available.Whilst no guarantee this may give an indication as to which hotels have inventory they're giving to opaque providers.Make sure you'll be happy with the outcome on PL !Good luck.

travelgal Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Haven't bid yet. Just looked at Hotwire to see which resorts they show available for my dates and they have a four star in North Tucson for $147 which I believe is the Omni and a 3.5 star for $147 which I believe is the Hilton El Conquistador. The difference between the two is that it shows high speed internet in the rooms in the 3.5 star and the Hilton does have that whereas Omni only has it in select rooms. I don't think either one of those is Westward Look. Do you agree? Thx. Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Is that the complete list of amenities... or do they both also show a Resort icon and the 3.5* also shows a Spa icon if you click "view hotel details" or "continue"?

travelgal Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes - they both show a resort icon and the 3.5 shows a spa icon if you click "view hotel details" Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 The 4* (no Hi-Speed Internet) is a match for the Omni while the 3.5* is a match for the Westward Look Resort, so that would be our best guesses for each.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.
