brie Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Won Villa Florence (boutique) in SF for $65 for August 2-6. First bid on 4* Union Sq/Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf (for $65, I'm pretty sure); added boutique on a re-bid and won. I'm not sure I couldn't have gotten this one for a little less, but it's so much better than what I would otherwise have done (w/o priceline) that I'm going to consider it a victory.[bTW, this was a 2 room bid]Congratulations, you got your price of $65 for a boutique hotel room. Villa Florence Check-In Date: Monday, August 2, 2004 Check-Out Date: Friday, August 6, 2004 Union Square And Embarcadero Area225 Powell Street San Francisco,
bbbb Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Did you run out of free rebid areas,is that why you added boutique?Just want to make sure you understand free rebidding before you bid your San Diego trip.
brie Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 bbbb, basically I just wasn't trying hard enough. I hadn't exhausted my options or even started as low as I probably should have; I wasn't being an informed priceline user, just looking to do better than the open market. (The win was on the first rebid, and I gave the complete bidding history in my post.) That said, I really am pretty happy about the $65 rate, even if I could have had a 4* or paid a bit less. For San Diego, I'm going in with a different attitude, though, and will try to actually win the lowest possible rate, especially with all your help! :)
bbbb Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Great,that said we will move on to your San Diego bid.
