jniff Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 I'm looking to bid for a Resort or 3* level in Key West for 2/26/09 - 3/1/09. I don't see a lot of posts for either of these. Any suggestions for a starting bid?Thanks!
thereuare Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 What is your maximum bid for this stay?Do you want to try for a Resort property up to limit first OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel for these dates?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

jniff Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 I think we'd want to go for the 4*/resort first with a max bid of $200. If that didn't work, then we'd go for the 3* or above with a max of more like $150. Rack rates I'm seeing for these dates for the *4s on the hotel list on this site are $324 - $480. Rack rates for 3* are $228 - $269.Thanks.
thereuare Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 This is notoriously a tough zone at the higher star levels, and hard to bid with no re-bid zones, but fortunately you have plenty of time on your side...I would start with Resort and try $125, $140, $150, $160, $170, $180, $190, $200... progressing thru each bid every 24 hours.If the above sequence is rejected we'll then take a look at the 3 star options.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

jniff Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 I was rejected through $150, but now our plans have changed, so I won't be continuing to bid. Thanks again for the help.
