Hi,

I need help bidding for a hotel in San Juan for 2/6/2010-2/7/2010 & 2/14/2010-2/15/2010. I have started out at $45 and went up to $52 but all were rejected.

Hi,

I am just looking for a 1 night pre and post cruise stay in San Juan. I'm looking to go no lower than a 3* hotel. I'm trying to strive for a hotel that would not go higher than $80 with tax and fees included. Please help.

Thanks!

I don't think $80 will cut it for your 2/6/2010-2/7/2010 stay.

Can you please start a new topic for your post stay.

Thanks. I used up all my rebid zones for today. I was last rejected for $78 for a 3 star hotel. Not sure if they ran out of rooms but I actually bid $76 for 1 night post cruise stay and was upgraded to a 3.5 star hotel. The median price for the hotels are not that far off from each other. Any suggestions?

[thereuare]

Rate are date specific and your purchase for 2/14 was an excellent deal for that stay. I would ignore the 'median prices' suggested by PRICELINE and they're not meaningful for your bidding... i wouldn't necessearily rush this one as you have plenty of time, but i think you're going to have to increase your current bidding to have a decent chance at success.

Do you have a back-up reservation anywhere? What is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?

I bid up to $90 and was finally accepted. Got upgraded to a resort (Caribe Hilton).
