Nick666 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do you think for a 4 day stay in Oct. splitting is helpful?My Max bid is 100.is it better to bid closer to the date or sooner? Link to comment
Colfax Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Splitting a four day stay always improves your chances of acceptance. However since your stay is still two months away I don't think you need to split yet, if you prefer staying in one hotel the whole time. You might just be bidding a little early. First I suggest bidding up to your $100 limit, since you've only bid up to $90. If $95 and $100 fail now then wait a week and try bidding up to $100 again. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Under the right circumstances spliting your bid even on a 2 nite can stay can be beneficial. Looking closer at your dates i'm not sure how much it will help, but if you're having trouble up to your budget than it could be worth a try.Why not try up to your budget first, however, this would be an improvement to the way you bid previously (assuming you're fine with either the USE or USW zones) using your three re-bid zones.At the 4* level you have Select 4* USE...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USW...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* USE and USW...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Nick666 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 10/22 to 10/26 san fransiscoI splited my trip and I have won two nights 22 and 23 fro 110/night. a total of 260.70 for Parc 55 .I am given the option to extend my stay at the same rate but I am not sure...Is it better to retry directly on priceline or use the extended offer. My attempt for the other two nights and price less than 110 was not successful. do you think if I wait a week I would have a better chance for the two other days? how long Will the extending offer last?any body has stayed at Parc 55? how was it?any comments?thanks Link to comment
BEAV Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 At the time you were successful winning the first two nights, did you first try all four nights but were rejected? If that is the case, the offer to extend your stay at $110 most likely will be rejected, otherwise you would have been successful all four nights at $110. I would suggest waiting awhile to try the extended offer, which is actually valid up until 11:00am on your currently scheduled date of check-out. With regard to the extended stay option, I am not sure whether you can exercise the option, and if rejected, try it again at a later time. In other words, is it a one-time offer? Hopefully someone else can answer that question. Keep in mind booking outside of the extended stay option means the possibilty of having to change hotels for your last two nights.I stayed at this hotel earlier this year on a non-Priceline/Hotwire booking. The room are nice, beds comforable, and, if lucky, you can get some great views of the City. We were fortunate to get a corner room with windows on two sides. The only negative to the hotel are the homeless and panhandlers in the vicinity. It's a great location, however, for downtown SF and Union Square. Link to comment
