sunfish939 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Hi,I was wondering if someone could help me with a bidding strategy for a 4* San Francisco, CA USW - Nob Hill Hotel for 1/21/09-1/25/09. My max bid is $140.Thank you in advance!
thereuare Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Just to confirm, is the USW zone the only area you're willing to stay? Many are fine with any of the 'downtown zones in this aea (USE, USW, Embarcadero, SOMA) and including more zones gives more hotels the opportunity to accept your bid price (and results in a better price)Of course you know your plans and needs for this trip better than we do so perhaps there is a reason to only bid USW, but figured i'd ask before suggesting a strategy to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

sunfish939 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 Yes, for business reasons, I would only like to stay in the USW- Nob Hill Area.Thank you!
thereuare Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 At the 4* level you have FOUR 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)Start with our link to PRICELINE...Select 4* USW-Nob Hill...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USW-Nob Hill and re-bid zone3...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USW-Nob Hill and re-bid zone4...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* USW-Nob Hill and re-bid zone3 and re-bid zone4...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $140Any 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.

sunfish939 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Posted November 2, 2008 Thank you so much for the help!However, I have decided to put off making my bids since I still have some time before the trip. I was really hoping to get the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental, and now (thanks to the board) I see that most people are getting the Hilton or Hotel Nikko.Again, thanks for the help, and I'll let you know what happens.
