Priceline Hotel: Bidding Strategy - Orange County Disneyland

[Fmr12B]

Selected Orange County Disneyland 3.5* with a bid of $46 - Rejected

Added: Anaheim Hills with a bid of $50 - Rejected

From the previous wins I was hoping for the Crowne Plaza - Anaheim but I do realize there are zero gurantees using Priceline.

If you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.

Since my bidding failed - I did not pursue this any further on PRICELINE and instead booked the Ramada near KBF using Kayak.

Thanks for the strategy!
