pekkleiv Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Please help me with a bidding strategy for a Boston trip. We are looking for a night in Boston from 5/21 to 5/22. We would like to either stay near Boston waterfront or South Boston. We would prefer a 3 star or minimum of 2 star hotel. Hopefully pay around $70-$80. Please let me know if I left out anymore info that you need. This is my first time posting here.Thank you in advance for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!At the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zone available. 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.With time on your side i would try to lowball your first round of bidding...Select 3* Waterfront...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* South...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Waterfront and South...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65I will also add that these two zones are not bid that often, and while you might have a specific reason to choose these two zones, i wouldn't be choosing them because you think they'll necessarily be less expensive than some of the Downtown zones... due to competitive reasons, the downtown zones may ultimately cost less than one on the outskirts of the city.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let su know how it goes.
