PhilTraveller Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 This is my first time trying Priceline. There is a large convention in SF around these dates, so it's not surprising that I got rejected. I tried:UnionSquareEast, USW 4* $125USE, USW, FishWharf 4* $125USE, USW, FW, CivicCenter 4* $130all of which were rejected. I have a backup (cancellable) room reserved by the airport, but I figured that if I could get a good deal downtown, I would take it. Maybe I'll try again after the convention releases any unsold rooms.
Colfax Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Your travel dates are a Tuesday to Sunday. If you're willing to split your bid you'll significantly improve your chances of acceptance at $130 or less. The likeliest split would be Tues-Fri together (3 nights) and Fri/Sat together (2 nights).
PhilTraveller Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks for the advice about splitting the trip. I'm not sure if I want to move during the stay (I'll be busy), but I may try it. I know that the bulk of the people for the conference are in the Thurs-Sat range. Looking on Expedia and other sites shows pretty poor availability. However, I could always get lucky! I'll post if I try it.
