Priceline Hotel: Downtown Miami 2/25/10-2/28//10

I am new to bidding but have been going thru the bids so I will have an idea of what to bid. I am traveling to Miami and would like to stay in the downtown area. I have seen winnings for 3 1/2 stars for as high as $55 and 4 star for as high as $63. I am now bidding and have gone as high as $75 for a 3 1/2 star but unable to make a deal. Is it because of the dates I am traveling? Can someone give me options. I have added lower stars in other areas for rebids. What should I do next? Thanks in advance

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Rates vary by date, and if this is a busy period then rates will be higher. What would be your desired budget per night, desired star rating and areas of interest (downtown only?)

I have gone as high as $80 which is the highest I wanted to spend per night and it was rejected. Any advice?

If you've already bid up to your maximum bid, your choices come down to:

-wait it out and try again

-lower your star rating

-SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID

-raise your bid

-add other zone(s)

What is your back-up plan / best rate you're able to find for a 3.5* rated property thru conventional booking channels?
