ALVI Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Hi I have been tempted to try my luck on snatching a deal from PRICELINE it looks too temptingDates for a 5" Hotel in Rome Italy are - 6/29/08-7/2/08My understanding is that I can play with the Zone loop hole since Only the Central Zone has a 5 star preference. What should be my starting bid since the median is 332 (a look on the regular pages shows that hotels range from 300-450+) while hotwire displays a $431 buy it now options. My budget will hover around anything less then 220 naturally lower the better.Hence what should be my first bid - and how much increment should I rise on every successive bidThanks
thereuare Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Current the Central zone is the only zone with 5* hotels, so you can use the other four zones at re-bidz ones (ALWAYS doublecheck before bidding to make sure that the other zones still qualify as re-bid zones since hotels can been added or upgraded at any time). 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 5* Central...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and re-access PRICELINE however you did previously.Select 5* Central and re-bid zone2...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and re-access PRICELINE however you did previously.Select 5* Central and re-bid zone3...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and re-access PRICELINE however you did previously.Select 5* Central and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $190, if rejected close browser and re-access PRICELINE however you did previously.Select 5* Central and re-bid zone4...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $205, if rejected close browser and re-access PRICELINE however you did previously.Select 5* Central and re-bid zone3 and re-bid zone4...Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $215, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $220Any 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.
