Priceline Hotel: 4* Amsterdam (City Center-Museum Quarter) Moevenpick

[larrylaffer]

Tried to bid for the Amsterdam (Centre and Museum Quarter) today.

Initially bid $95 for a 4*

The screen came up that my bid would be unlikely to be accepted (this is new for me and rather distracting).

I pushed on. I had a counter bid for 118 per night which I declined.

Went back and added the north area which does not have 4* and tried for 100. Rejected.

Will give it a go tomorrow some time.

You did right by ignoring this message... ignore it in the future too :)

Well, you know you're currently within $18 of a win... are you ultimately to go that high for this stay? If so i'd continue as you are, increasing each bid by $5. (don't forget to check before each bidding cycle that nothing has changed with your re-bid zone)

Well I went back in. Using the appropriate PRICELINE links as always. Tried a cheeky bid of 90 and got a counter offer of 118 again.

Given that I have plenty of time to spare, I decided to try a counter bid again.

I added the North zone and went to 98. It was rejected again. So obviously, at this time, they have a desire to to get above 100. I might start at 100 tomorrow and then go to 105.

I might try for a 5* around 100 and see how I go. Will update you all later.

I tried again going up to 105. I really have been tight on this bid. I got an offer again of 118. I had to laugh. A game of cat and mouse. I will try again tomorrow. Might go to 108. Will keep you informed. I used the PRICELINE links.

I took it to $110 and was accepted for the 4 star Moevenpick Hotel in Amsterdam which seems to be a common win for the site.

With taxes and charges it was 250 all up.

Used the PRICELINE links from the site in order to support the site.

Congratulations on your win!

Hopefully you're happy with the results... not too much over your original $100 bid.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.
