laochen Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Greetings,Would this be an appropriate bidding strategy for a four star hotel in downtown st. peterburg. The rate per night for a four star is 188.00 for the dates of travel. I'm willing to bid up to 130.00 per night. Zone 8 75.00, add Zone 1 80.00zone 2 90.00zone 3 100.00zone 4 110.00zone 5 120.00zone 6 130.00Zone 7 has a four star on the beach - so I assume I can't use that zone. Thanks for your help. :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 No...When you select a 4* rating it is the minimum star rating you're willing to accept. Therefore, you can't use the (Palm Harbor-Tarpon Springs) zone, which has Resort rated properties, as a re-bid zones since your 4* bid could be upgraded to a Resort property and therefore could win a hotel in this zone should you add this area.If you let us know the actual dates of your stay we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
