Priceline Hotel: When to Bid? Best strategy?

[nphillips]

I am planning a trip for 4 nights to London, starting July 28 thru the 1st of August. I have attempted 125. bids for 4 star hotels in Regents Park & Westminster zones to no sucess. As these dates are at the end of the high session am I bidding too early?

nphillips - Welcome to BetterBidding!

yes, it's busy times in London at your dates. But the board has several members that know London very well.

Could you please post what amount you have bid for a 4* hotel. If you have made 125 bids without any hit must there be a reason.

Have you checked the rack rates for the know hotels in your zones you have bid at so your bids are realistic comparing to the rack rates?

If you need help with a strategy so please post your max budget for your stay, preferd star rating and zones you would like to stay in.

Please read about "when to bid" in the board's PRICELINE FAQ.

Have you looked at HOTWIRE for your dates? Please use this HOTWIRE link if you decide to go with HW.

Just ask if you have any further questions.

Henrik.
