solavino21 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Still have lots of time, but just wondering if there is an ID of 5* hotels in Dublin City Center South? I see only the Shelbourne listed, but I see a couple of postings that say the Westin is also a possibility. I've tried to bid up to $130 (using the PRICELINE link), with so far Priceline offering me $172. I've reserved a back up at The Shelbourne for 194 Euros incl. breakfast, so I'm looking for motivation. Does it get much cheaper than Priceline's counter to anyone's knowledge? I was just considering the market and it does not appear to be a high volume week. Thanks for any input!
thereuare Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Yes, you can usually undercut PRICELINE's counteroffer as per this Priceline Suggests Price to Pay thread.However, to undercut their suggested price you need to either wait until your next bidding opportunity OR use a re-bid zones. Currently when bidding 5* in this area you have two re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help.

solavino21 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Still working on this. So far the counter offers keep getting lower to now $136 per night. Although that is a savings over my backup, I'm going to keep pushing to get it lower. Just wondering if anyone thinks that the closer the date gets the more "desperate" the hotels get?
