newtravel Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 This is my first time trying to use priceline. I'm trying to bid for 2 rooms for July 1st in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I've tried 4*, 3*, going from 50 to 70 bucks, and 2.5 * going to 60 bucks, but I am not getting any hit. Perhaps it's a holiday, and I should bid more? Or should I wait until the date is closer to the travel date, that way the hotels would be more "desperate" to get rid of their rooms?Thanks Link to comment
yellowdog Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 newtravel - Welcome to BetterBidding!Here is some usefull reading for you: When to bid on pricelineJuly 1st is a holiday in Canada. This is the first you look up if you're planing a holiday that includes Priceline or HOTWIRE. Since rates are higher in many cases.HOTWIRE got a 4* for $164, 3.5* $139, 3* $132, 2.5* $109.So it looks like your bidding don't cut it comparing with HOTWIRE rates. Half of the HOTWIRE rates don't do it.Please post if you have any additional questions.Good luck!Henrik. Link to comment
