Sha Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 I would like to bid on *3.5 (Burnaby-Conquitlam) Hilton Metrotown for 3 nights from Sep 11-14.However, I am afraid I might get Delta Burnaby which doesn't seem to be qualified for*3.5 hotel.Please advise!
AaronJB Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)Keep in mind that if you bid on a certain star rating in a certain area, you could potentially get any hotel at that star rating in that area. Would you be able to accept any of the hotels in this area at the 3.5* rating?What would be your budget per night?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.
Sha Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 I saw one person successfully bid on Hilton Metrotown for $64 for the coming labor day weekend and I am actually going to Vancouver the weekend after.However, I also see someone got Delta Burnaby for $75. Currently, Hilton metrotown regular price is about USD$98 per night and I would like to try $65 per night.
thereuare Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 You can't bid on a specific hotel... if you're going to use PRICELINE you need to be willing to accept any hotel at the minimum star rating you select that is in the zone.If the above conditions don't work for your needs then consider HOTWIRE where you may be able to target the Hilton and/or avoid the Delta, based upon the amenities that are shown before your purchase.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Sha Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 Hotwire doesn't work out because they only offered 3* for Burnaby area. I am going to try Priceline to bid the hotel on 3.5*. Dates: 09/11~14, is $65 a good bid? I am hoping to get Hilton Metrotown or Holiday Inn is fine as well.

thereuare Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 I am hoping to get Hilton Metrotown or Holiday Inn is fine as well.But keep in mind you could receive the Delta or any other 3.5* rated hotel in the zone.If you want to try bidding...At the 3.5* level you have THREE re-bid zones. 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.Select 3.5* Burnaby...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
