slh1913 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 I will pay more for 4* and prefer to get 4* but f I end up with 3* I want to pay as little as possible.
thereuare Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I will stay in any of these areas:Central Business DistrictDowntown Convention CenterFrench Quarter (my preferred area)There is no more CBD zone so i'm assuming you really are only willing to bid the Downtown-Convention Center and the French Quarter.Rates look very high for these dates but to give it a try, you have FIVE re-bid zones at the 4* 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 and French Quarter...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 4* Downtown and French Quarter and re-bid zone4...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 4* Downtown and French Quarter re-bid zone5...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 4* Downtown and French Quarter re-bid zone4 and re-bid zone5...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $150Any questions 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.

slh1913 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks so much! PRICELINE won't let me bid again today, as I bid yesterday so I will try this on Saturday.I won a rental a car for the same trip, midsize, for $10 a day. I started the bid using the PRICELINE link on your site.
thereuare Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Keep us updated and thank you for using our PRICELINE link for your car rental.Can you please post the details of that win in the Car Rental section of the board.Thanks! :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
slh1913 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Unfortunately PRICELINE would not accept my request. I think it's due to the high occupancy during this time frame. I ended booking with the Doubletree at 179/ night. That's more than I'd like tp ay for a Doubletree but there are four of us traveling so it came out to be quite cheap.
thereuare Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 As per our support page we are an affilate of the Doubletree... it would be appreciated if you used the link in our support page to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
