premieresba Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 My client has heard me extol the virtues of this site and Priceline. So I am going to try and help her. There is a conference at the Renaissance on Wacker she will attend on 10/19-10/21. The room rate is 289. She is looking for a 4* and would like to pay the max $200 per night. She does not mind taking a short cab ride if the hotel price is right.Can you assist with a bidding strategy?ThanksRobin
thereuare Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 Rates are high for these dates but we can give it a try... are both the NMA and Loop zones acceptable?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

premieresba Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Posted September 18, 2008 Yes both locations would work.Thanks
thereuare Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 At the 4* level you have three re-bid zones. 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 4* NMA...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Loop...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* NMA and re-bid zone3...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Loop and re-bid zone3...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* NMA and Loop...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* NMA and Loop and re-bid zone3...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $180The above falls a little short of your stated maximum, but I would start with this and if rejected can always revise to try again in 24 hours up to your stated $200 maximum bid.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

premieresba Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks for the help, unfortunately my client had some dates that were changing and she went another route in the event she needed more flexibility in her dates.As always I will continue to use and recommend your site.Best,Robin
