Priceline Hotel: 4* Halifax, Nova Scotia 9/11 - 9/14

[Keoni]

Have been bidding as follows for a 4* in Halifax. Note: currently there are no 3.5 * showing

so I currently have 8 chances to bid:

4* Halifax bid zone 3 $47

add re-bid zone 2,3 $50

close browser, then reopen browser

4* Halifax bid zone 1&3 $52

add re-bid zone 1,2,3 $55

close browser, then reopen browser

3.5* Halifax bid zone 3 $57

add re-bid zone 2,3 $60

close browser, then reopen browser

3.5* Halifax bid zone 1&3 $62

add re-bid zone 1,2,3 $67

If anyone has a better strategy for Halifax, please let me know as I have plenty of

time to bid. It seems there are two sets of prices being won, high $40's to mid $50's,

and a second set of prices at the low - mid $60's. Any advice is appreciated.

Regards, Keoni :)

I'm never a fan of lowering the star level to gain extra bids when it appears there are no hotels available at that star level. This is acceptable when you're working under a tight timeline, but with 2+ months before your stay, it's not a risk i would be taking... while the risk may be low, i also find it an unnecessary one to take.

Also, rates for your dates are currently somewhat higher than usual, so i would be expecting the higher end of the range to be necessary.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Good luck and keep us updated.
