misstina Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Hi I am looking to stay in prague for 3 nights from 21 october. Want to be as close to tourist central prague as possible (1st visit). Happy to pay up to $150 US per night before taxes. Could you suggest a bidding strategy please?
thereuare Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 As the East zone is currently the one zone offering 5* bidding, i assume you're comfortable with a hotel anywhere within this zone? 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.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 5* East...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 5* East and re-bid zone2...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130.Any 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.

misstina Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 update : i have tried the above strategy for the last 3 days now with no success yet. im thinking it just may be too early for october ??? i intend to try again in a few days.
thereuare Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Have you increased your bidding up to $150 or have you continued with the same $130 each time?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

misstina Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 i have kept the initial bids the same and only varied the last bid - once going to 155.
thereuare Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 I just checked rates directly at the Marriott website and i'm showing rooms at $500+ per nite for the dates above... i don't think $150 will be enough if rates direct from the hotel remain this high.
