Priceline Hotel: aruba august 7-15 no luck at 103

[briand]

I just wanted some suggestions or help. I noticed some topics stating they had received winning bids on priceline for 60 bucks a night for a 4 star hotel. I tried that and went up 5-10 bucks and eventually got to 103 (which was the most recent winning bid on the forum) and it was still unnaccepted. im not really willing to spend much more than that because i have my eye on another hotel for less. any suggestions on price fluctuations or techniques?

thanks

briand,

I looked at the rack rate for Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino ($103 win) for your dates. Best rate is $369.

You better look what the rate is for the Westin resort. And what rack rates the other bidders has reported (if any) in the posts

You can't compare rates in the past with your upcoming stay. There is a big difference on low seasson/high season, weekday and weekend, nights of stay etc.

The best technique is do do your homework. Check rack rates for your stay and see if your bid is realistic, follow the board and see if new wins or rejections are posted around your dates etc.

Please ask if you need further help.

Henrik.
