basiagirl Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Hi all, please I need some of your expertise. I am new to bidding on Priceline and I'm trying to get a cheap hotel (2.5-star plus) for Hilton Head on Memorial Day weekend. Ive seen all your posts with low rates but I cant get it to work for me, what am I doing wrong?Median hotel rate for resort is $219/nt and I cant even get $115, and median for 2.5 is $159/nt and I can't get $85.... am I doing something wrong? I'm afriad to bid higher because I'll wind up paying the same amount or reg. price and they'll give me a crappy hotel!Thanks and I appreciate any replies.
thereuare Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!I suspect the issue you're having is that you're trying to get a deal in a beach environment for the 'official' launch of summer holiday weekend. What are the actual dates of your stay?Ignore PRICELINE's "median" rates... what is the best price you're able find (searching on your own, user our Hotel Checker and BetterChecker to assist in your search) thru conventional booking channels.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
