wilsonucla Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Looking for a 3* hotel or better for 5/4/08, one night. Would be willing to look at other areas if the hotel is special, but would rather be downtown.Any tips on what to bid and where I may end up? Thanks!Please always use the betterbidding.com links for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE Link to comment

wilsonucla Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I would say around $65 or less. But if the hotel is very nice ill go a little bit higher.Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't think $65 is usually enough for a 3* in this zone, but you can try as follows:At the 3* level you have two 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.Select 3* Downtown...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bdi $55, ifr rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* Downtown and re-bid zone2...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bdi $65, ifr rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Any questiosn feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

wilsonucla Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 May 4-5Started with the PRICELINE link at betterbidding and Tried for 3* for North Charleston/Airport at $41 and was rejected. Then tried for Downtown $60 and was rejected, however it said I could rebid again if I added $17. I then started again at betterbidding and tried to add just $5 for a total of $65 for this zone and another zone without a 3*, and that bid was accepted for $65 in Downtown. I am very happy with this price and this hotel. Thanks again betterbidding for helping me get this great deal! This is a new hotel for the list! Link to comment
