Priceline Hotel: Help with 4* Toronto Downtown South bid strategy

[slneilryan]

I require 2 rooms for one night, Nov 17 - 18 in the Toronto Downtown South zone. I would like to stick to a 4 star. So far I have bid

Toronto Downtown South 4 star $50 rejected

added Brampton $55 rejected

added Don Valley $60 rejected

Am I doing this right? Are there additional rebids you could suggest?

It appears that rooms are going for 60 - 75 dollars from you list of wins for November. I would like to keep my max bid to $70 (if that is reasonable?)

Thanks for any help.

It looks like you are on the right track and may need to make a few more re-bids before you win a room.

For a 4* hotel, there are numerous other re-bid zones that you could use. At my last count there are 9 re-bid zones you could use (this can change at any time). A couple examples: Toronto East (currently a max 2*) or Toronto West (currently a max 3*).

Please double check these before you bid as they can change at any time!

It may be a good idea to read this topic Priceline Rebidding Explained to fully familiarize yourself with various rebidding strategies.

Otherwise I would continue along with your current strategy, adding those extra rebid zones.

Thanks for the advice.

I ended up booking directly with a hotel.

How high did you try bidding and where, and for how much, did you book direct?
