Newtraveler37 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Hi, I am new to this website, bidding, and traveling in general. I'm planning a Spring break getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for my finance and I at the end of March. I want to bid, because I can save more money that way. What kind of advice do you have for when I should bid? and where? is priceline the only place? Anything I should watch out for? I have done some research and have found the normal set prices for flight tickets and hotels in the area. And from what I've seen on here, I have a good idea on where I want to start my bid and how high I'm willing to go. If and when I bid, I will definitly let you know how it turned out.Thanks Newtravler37
thereuare Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!As far as when to bid, the general comment is to begin bidding once your plans are firm... while also making sure not to overbid early on. For additional comment on this subject see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.However, if you're dates coincide with the same timeframe that many colleges are out on Spring Break, you may want to start bidding, and going a bit higher, than you might otherwise early on.What are the actual dates of your stay? What star level hotel are you trying for and what have you determined your maximum bid to be?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Newtraveler37 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Posted December 28, 2009 Oh Thank you. Yes, i was thinking I might not have the money to bid for another month. But the dates are March 19th-28th.and I am thinking about a 3 or 4 star hotel. I was looking at hotel regular prices and then the ones that people have won bids on and around what time frame. So I know my limits on the 3 and 4 star hotels. I just want to have money to do all the other activities I have planned for us. Something that I did notice is that mexico is much cheaper than Hawaii! lol Anyway, it is around the time that most schools go on spring break, so I hope that doesnt hurt my

thereuare Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.2xThe 4.5* property appears to be the same hotel you asked about above and was identifed 2 posts above this one.I'm not seeing the 4* property offered on a current HOTWIRE search for your dates... are you still seeing this on your own HOTWIRE search? If so, is it in teh Cabo San Lucas zone (or perhaps it's in the San Jose del Cabo or The Corridor zone)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
