sioseeker Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 We wanted 3* and tried $45, $50, $55, $60 and eventually we were accepted at $65 with upgrade to 3.5*.Have no idea why we we needed to bid so much - is there some exciting event in Redondo the week of Feb 17/19?Also booked using an Australian AMEX credit card Priceline had on file from last year - no problem.Thank you.

AaronJB Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Congratulations on your success! Rates vary by dates - not sure what may be going on on these dates, but there may be a convention or other event in the area.Can you confirm your dates? They appear to have not fit on the top line of the thread subject.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start future purchases.Enjoy your stay.

It seems like most 3* wins in this zone happen within a week or two of travel dates. Link to comment
chiefboyle Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 3* in Manhattan-Redondo zone often requires some patience. It seems like most 3* wins in this zone happen within a week or two of travel dates.Thanks for adding that Colfax. I am also looking for a 3* in this area (2/21 - 23) and haven't had luck at $50 a couple of times on PRICELINE now. Good to know that I might have better luck as the dates approach. Link to comment
sioseeker Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ah Colfax thank you - I looked more closely at previous posts and yes it seems that the good deals of 3* for $43-$45 are booked a day or two before the stay date. Will keep that in mind for future bookings. We are flying from OZ and I guess we didn't want to end up camping. We booked thro the Priceline thread link. Link to comment
