guytons1 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 I will be going to South Beach during this period. The days are Thursday through Monday. I was wondering about bidding strategies. I am willing to pay up to $165 a night. The zones which I want to stay in are South Beach - Central, South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront, or South Beach - Ocean Drive. I would preferably like a 4* hotel. I would also be willing to take a 3.5* Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think I have read a lot about how to get a good hotel, but I might have a firend coming with me and they're kind of skeptical about the process. I just want to check with you guys to get the best deal possible. Thanks
thereuare Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!Assuming you want to bid for a 4* up to your limit before trying for a 3.5*, and that your limit is $165 before taxes and fees, i'd bid as follows (if either of these is incorrect just post back and we'll revise accordingly):At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 4* Central, Oceanfront, and Ocean Drive...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Central, Oceanfront, and Ocean Drive and re-bid zone5...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Central, Oceanfront, and Ocean Drive and re-bid zone6...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone5...Bid $165Any questions feel free to ask (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're unsure).Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
