Saint3846 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Hello All,I will be attending a large conference in Washington D.C. April 29th-May 2nd. The conference is at the Hilton Washington Hotel, and it has been completely booked up for those dates. Conference goers were receiving a discounted rate of $229 per night. If possible, I'd like to stay in a 4* hotel in the dupont circle - woodley park area, to be relatively close to the Hilton. I'll be happy with anything under the $229 price, but obviously the more money I save, the better. I was searching for rooms for that week, and everything seems to be in the $300+ range. Is it wise to start out as low as $100. I'd appreciate any bidding strategies you could offer. Thanks!
thereuare Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 I think this is going to be a tough bid. At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones. 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.Select 4* Dupont Circle...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Dupont Circle and re-bid zone2...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145.Any questions feel free to ask. The above may very likely be too low, but you 'planted' the $100 so we have to start there :) and you have plenty of time to work your way higher.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
