Gdogg6 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hello...I will be traveling to Austin on Monday, May 12th for one night. I will be going with a co-worker, we need two rooms. I was wanting a strategy to try and get a 4* and/or 3* hotel in downtown Austin. $70.00 per room would be our max bid....I know that is probably a longshot for a 4* hotel but I thought I'd go ahead and try first.If we can't land a 3* or 4* in downtown then I would go ahead and try for a 3* in the following areas....1. Austin North2. Austin Northwest3. Round RockI did put them in order of where I'd like to stay first. Any help on a strategy would be much appreciated!I'm ready to start bidding!Thanks,Grant Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Let's take this one step at a time...At the 4* level you have six re-bid zones... only one re-bid zone at the 3* level. 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* Downtown...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70.If the above is rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 3* Downtown...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70.Any questions feel free to ask.Start with the above and if rejected for both we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
