mommacl Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 I'm helping a friend bid on a room for 9/13-9/16 (4 nights) tried N. River $145 added LP $150 added MAP $155 added Skokie $160none accepted. any suggestions. Oh ..she will night split the nights. She is kinds picky, had a hard time even explaining how PL works. Thanks!
AaronJB Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Not sure why nothing has been won, but I would strongly advise to stop bidding any further. I'm seeing the Palmer House Hilton on Orbitz for $188. Use coupon code FABSAVE10 for 10% off = $169.20, only $9 more than what you've been up to. I see a 4* Boutique in the Loop area on HOTWIRE for $139, which is likely the Burnham.I'd go with the 4* HOTWIRE boutique hotel for $139 and stop bidding on Priceline, which, for whatever reason, just isn't working for these dates.It would be greatly appreciated if you could start your purchase by using the site's link to HOTWIRE (click the HOTWIRE), as it helps support the site.

mommacl Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 My friend wants NMA River North ONLY.Sorry I didn't mean to look like I was yelling, but the lady is very picky :) & can be a real pain somtimes, but our husbands invest in RE together & I said I'd help.
thereuare Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 How high is she willing to bid?If she will be doing the bidding please ask her to visit the board and use our PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to begin the bidding/purchase. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mommacl Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Posted August 6, 2008 I'll be doing the bidding. Yes I'll use your link.I'd feel OK bidding up tp 180 w/o calling her. They have a back up at 265. in that area. :)
AaronJB Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 A few other suggestions:1. Sutton Place - $233 on Orbitz (on sale from $333 - 30% off). Use coupon code FABSAVE10 for an extra 10% off the final total.2. Dana Hotel and Spa. $209 on Travelocity (on sale from $279). This is a beautiful new spa hotel in the River North area, which is a few blocks from Michigan Ave. Really pretty new hotel, and a nice spa/hotel might be a good fit for your friend. If you use a mastercard and promo code SAVE50, you get an extra $50 off the final total.If either of these are of interest, please use the site's links to Travelocity.com or Orbitz.com.
