cqt Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Best hotel for $150 regardless of star rating, but I assume 4* is better than 3*. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 If you have faith in the rating system, then yes, a 4* would be considered "better" than a 3.5* or 3*. At the 4* level you have FOUR re-bid zones.Select 4* South Beach...Bid $900, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $105, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* South Beach and re-bid zone3...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* South Beach and re-bid zone4...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* South Beach and re-bid zone3 and re-bid zone4...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.

cqt Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the strategy tip. My trip is not till June 11th. Do hotel prices go up or down the closer you get to the dates needed? Is there an optimal time before one's stay to bid? Sorry, I am a newbie. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 cqtDo hotel prices go up or down the closer you get to the dates needed? Is there an optimal time before one's stay to bid?Nobody can answer that. But please read this link: Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date and post if you have questions.Yellowdog.

RICHTC Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm confused. Looking at Miami, there is only 1 zone for South Beach - Zone 11. How do you get to bid so many different zones? Link to comment

yellowdog Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 cqtPlease keep all posts for the same stay in one thread. I have merged your diffrent threads. Just post here.Best guess for this hotel would be The Palms.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes.Yellowdog. Link to comment
cqt Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Was unsuccessful with priceline at $155 for 4*.Does anyone know this 3.5* hotel in Central south beach on hotwire?Boutique Hotel Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you're bidding on PRICELINE simultaneous when asking for an ID, please do PRICELINE before asking about HOTWIRE ID.Best guess for this hotel would be Astor Hotel.Yellowdog. Link to comment
cqt Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks all. I ended up bidding on Miami Beach instead to save some money and got Palms 4* at $85/night for June 11 to 13. Link to comment
