Hotwire Hotel: 2* Chicago (Itasca) Days Inn

[LKHomemail]

Yesterday, I entered a priceline request for Oakbrook Lombard Downers Grove zone area for 2.5* @ 30 for eight days. Check in for this Sat 8/15 . I was rejected and it asked me to counteroffer for 8 dollars more.

I tried to do my first attempt with a rebid. I used Algonquin and raised my price to 31.00. I was again regected. I did not do anything else.

Not sure what to do next ? It locked me out until tonight for 24 hour suspension before I can rebid.

I've won bids in this area at 2.5 * and 3* @ 30. Do you think the rate has changed is now higher ? How do i enter extra rebids ? I do not see other areas on North Shore available as choices for me to enter ?

For this stay, I would like a strategy for Oakbrook and a strategy for something in the Northbrook / Glenview / North Shore area. Either option can work fine for me.

How do you go back / forth in the same bid ? It does not seem to be a choice for me to choose a new area other than the few that are listed.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Update, I tried again at 30 in a 3 * in Oakbrook Lombard Downers Grove area zone for arrival on Saturday and out on Monday. (Thought I would shorten it / book the 2nd leg next). I was rejected for the 2 night stay. It counter offered again at 38.00. I decided to change my arrival date for Monday as it's getting too late and this works better for me too.

Do you think that the price points are changing within the zone ? I've been watching this zone / posts and seems some are bidding 34 and 35 for 3 stars in this zone / area where 30 previously worked. I met lots of travellers who are using this at hotel and they reported similar results.
