buddy222 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Looking for bidding help on Priceline....Thursday November 8 - 3* or 4*Checking Hotwire there is nothing available.Tried 4* up to $75 using 3 rebids and unsuccessful.Any ideas?
thereuare Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!$75 is often not enough in this area for a 4* hotel during 'normal' periods, and there is a big conference taking place during your date above, so it's not surprising your bids were rejected.What is your maximum bid for this stay? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
buddy222 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 I will bid up to $150 if needed.Would also add Cambridge if needed
thereuare Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 I'm doubtful you'll be successful, but were you seeking the least expensive 3* or better hotel or were you willing to pay more for a 4* property?When was your list bid made?

buddy222 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 I am looking for a less expensive hotel, but would prefer 3* or higher. At 3* there is 3 rebids.What is your best guess for a 3* win?btw Thanks for the quick replys
thereuare Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 With your three re-bid zones i'd bid as follows:Select 3* Downtown...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Cambridge...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Downtown and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Cambridge and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Downtown and Cambridge...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* Downtown and Cambridge and re-bid zone3...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

buddy222 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 Tried this strategy up to $150 and no luck. Perhaps my idea of under $150 for this date is unrealistic.Any idea on where I need to be with price to be successful for a 3*?
buddy222 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Posted September 26, 2008 Well after being rejected I just made alternative arrangements. Thanks for all your help.
