Priceline Hotel: Need advice - Paris La Defense 4* 7-14 Sep

[Tracy Yip]

I have put in a bid for $100 per night for Paris, La Defense area for 7 nights starting from 7 Sep.

My offer was rejected and Priceline counter-proposed $166 per night which I did not accept.

How much further do you think I should increase in my next bid? My limit is $135 per night and my dates+area is immovable.

Thanks.

Please follow-up your previous Priceline NYC thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

I have closed the NY thread, sorry for leaving it open, I had some family emergencies and couldn't go ahead.

For the Paris trip, I raised my bid up to $110 per night and was still rejected.

I think you have to proceed to you maximum here. I would do this in $5 steps.

Please post if you need any further help.

PS. please follow-up this thread with whatever you ended up doing for the stay (even if you chose to book direct, cancelled your stay, etc)

I just came back from my trip and wanted to close off this thread.

I went up to $135 and was still not accepted for a bid.

In the end, I booked from another website which had a couple of last min deals.
