zawillif Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 I have been having trouble getting a bid accepted. I'm trying to get the Hilton Ocean Walk hotel, and have been bidding on 4* only. Based on threads in this forum I started at $45/night and have been increasing every day by $5. Today I tried $85/night and was still shot down with not even a counter offer. This seems like its a lot higher than what everyone else has been getting. I am hesitant to lower the * rating as I really want this one hotel and do not want to get stuck with another one. Any other suggestions? The only thing I know of that is going on that weekend is a shuttle launch down at NASA, about an hour south. Thanks!
thereuare Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!Rates are date specific... and rates for your dates are higher than when we've seen the ~$50 bids accepted. What is your maximum bid for this stay?Also, are you only making one bid per day? Are you familiar with re-bid zones, as you have FOUR re-bid zones available when bidding for a 4* hotel in this area. See this thread: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained for more information (if you're new to the topic it's highly recommended you confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
