grenmom2 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Maybe I'm trying to bid too early :) ... I'm looking for 2 separate nights in the month of April. Having no success. I'm bidding about once every 24 hours. My plan is to soon go down to a 3*. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. The following are the bids that I have already bid up to $76. Link to comment

grenmom2 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thank you. My first stay is on April 3rd for the DFW Airport North or South. My maximum bid before going to a 3* is about $85. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 DFW South does not currently offerer 4* bidding, so you're really just bidding DFW North. When bidding 4* in the Dallas region you have 8 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.Taking into account your most recent bids, i'd try as follows:Select 4* DFW North...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $82, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $84, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

grenmom2 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thank you very much. This is helpful. I wasn't even aware that DFW South does not currently offer 4* bidding. No wonder I haven't been too successful yet :). It helps to have a plan. Link to comment
