fladawg01 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Been bidding on 3.5 stars at 35 to 38 per night. I've seen several posts here where the Doubletree has accepted 32 & 34 per night, yet I get no acceptance.Am I too far out for this trip? I have been using the better bidding PRICELINE links as well. Any help would be appreciated.Due to what I am up there for and where I need to be, Independence is really the area needed as well. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Rates are a little higher than usual at the moment, but nothing too bad.You may just be a little early for the very deep discounts, although you may need to ultimately go a little higher as well.How anxious are you to "get this done" vs. hoping rates come in a little bit in the coming months?Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

fladawg01 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Trying to get it done at the right price. I guess when i see others getting rates slightly lower than my bids, I'm curious as to why my higher bids haven't been accepted. I do have a feeling my dates are still outside of where they are will to accept lower than average rates at this time. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sometimes bidding requires a little patience... book yourself a fully refundable back-up in the meantime. It will put your mind at ease a bit, help prevent you from overbidding, as well as protect you should rates move higher from here.Keep us updated as to your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.Thanks for using the PRICELINE links on the board each time you begin your bidding.Good luck!

fladawg01 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 For this stay I finally got an accepted price of $36 per night. The hotel was an off name but rated as a 3.5* (at one time it was the Sheraton). By the time I made my trip the hotel was purchased 3 months prior and is now known as the Crowne Plaza South. It was under remodel at the time of my stay, but the room they provided me was great. No issues with my reservation or price paid. Link to comment
