lk009 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Hello, Could you please help with the strategy? Travel dates are 5/22/09-5/25/09. Just placed a $100 bid on Priceline and was rejected. Any 4* will do. Would like not to pay more than 110 per night. Thank you!
thereuare Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Not really too much 'wiggle' room between your recently failed bid and your maximum bid but you can give it a try as follows: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.Since you've already made a bid for just the West Hollywood-Beverly Hills zone within the last 24 hours, you can try as follows:Select 4* WH/BH and re-bid zone (need to include this re-bid zone here since you bid the WH/BH on its own in the last 24 hours)... Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $106, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

lk009 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks! Will it be best if I wait 24 hours or should I rebid today adding another zone? If its better to add another zone. Would Culver city be the zone to add?Thank you for your help!
Colfax Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Here's info on how to bid again before 24 hours:Rebidding Before 24 HoursWhen bidding for a 4* in LA you have three free rebid zones. Those are zones that only have hotels less than 4*. Culver City is one and there are two others. After reading the above link you can post the names of the other two zones here if you want confirmation prior to bidding.Please start your new bids with this PRICELINE link.
lk009 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Posted March 12, 2009 Thank you so much for your help! Just won Sofitel. Was my first choice. First bid 103 rejected, second bid 106 rejected, last bid 110 accepted. Please change the heading. I'm not sure how to. As always, used your PRICELINE link!
