cornmouse Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Hi,I've tried bidding for this area with my max bid $90 but still unable to get any offers. Any advice please?Thanks!
thereuare Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!As "downtown" isn't a PRICELINE zone, exactly which zone(s) did you include in your bidding? What star level did you select?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

shazebq Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, I'm having the exact same problem. I'm trying for the Millennium Park area and North Michigan Ave but no luck! Does anyone know if there's something going in Chi-town the weekend of Oct. 17?
cornmouse Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Posted October 12, 2009 Yes I selected Millenium Park area. And I did use the PRICELINE link given by this forum to bid. I heard there's an activity going on in that area...
The one and only Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 thre is a huge convention that i am attending happening this week-end. i won a 3* in NMA zone for 120$. that should give you an idea of the range to bid and even that might not be enough as the cheapest room on HOTWIRE for what could be considered ''Downtown'' is showing at 239$. So if you can move your date, i think i would as the week-end after seems to go a lot cheaper. If you can't, be prepared to pay what is usually the rack rate for chicago and even a little bit more than that.
thereuare Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 cornmouse,Bsed upon the above, what are your current thoughts... raise your bid, lower your star rating (and likely raise your bid as well), change your dates, etc?Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

cornmouse Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks for your input.I guess I have to stay farther away from Millennium Park area, probably nearer to the airport... Afterall, hotels there can be reached by subways.. :)
thereuare Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 If you'd like help with a bidding strategy let us know which zone(s) you're willing to accept, minimum star rating, and maximum bid and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 If you are driving, I'd be happy to suggest other areas outside the city besides the airport.
