pricehot Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Hi there. I am trying to spend New Year in San Antonio at a 4* on the Riverwalk. I want to spend $100-150/night. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can do this as I have not used priceline in years.
thereuare Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!Just the nite of 12/31? I assume anywhere in priceline's Riverwalk zone is ok? (as it is somewhat larger than just the Riverwalk area) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
pricehot Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!Just the nite of 12/31? I assume anywhere in priceline's Riverwalk zone is ok? (as it is somewhat larger than just the Riverwalk area)I actually need 12/29 with checkout on Jan 1. I was hoping to get a hotel that is in just the Riverwalk area. But if this is not possible, then I am willing to expand out to the entire Riverwalk zone. Any suggestions?
thereuare Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 At the 4* level you have 5 re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. (NOTE: West is not a re-bid zone)Select 4* Riverwalk...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Riverwalk and re-bid zone4...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Riverwalk and re-bid zone5...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Riverwalk and re-bid zone4 and re-bid zone5...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150.Any questions feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

pricehot Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 Which of the following are included in the 5 zones referenced above? Downtown - Riverwalk Medical Center San Antonio Airport (SAT) San Antonio East San Antonio Northeast San Antonio Northwest San Antonio South San Antonio West
thereuare Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Have you read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained?You need to know how to check your re-bid zones yourself (especially since you don't know when you'll be bidding)... re-bid zone change all the time (hotels are upgraded/downgraded/added/removed) so you they need to be checked before each bidding cycle. (unless you want to risk ending up outside of the Riverwalk zone)Feel free to confirm your re-bid zones with the board, or of you're having trouble with any particular aspect let us know and we'll try to break it down further.

Jailbreak Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 I really like this simplified permutation bidding method. There is always something new and interesting to learn on BetterBidding.com!
