Hi all, This is my very first post and first time trying this Priceline bidding strategy so please be go easy on me! :) My dad and I will be visiting San Fran (and Vegas and LA but I will post those on the respective threads) for the first time in late October. I will be paying for the rooms during the trip and am hoping to get something nice (i.e. 4* category) as a treat for my dad. I have had a read through this forum and various websites and am keen to stay in the USE, Financial / Embarcadero / Fisherman's Wharf districts. I have also seen various wins at great prices which I have tried to follow (e.g. ~$115 bid price before including all the services and fees that you guys mention). I tried USE, added Financial District (as I don't mind there either), and then added Embarcadero (4* and raising price slightly on each occasion), but but have not been successful so far. Is this a particularly busy period, and can you provide any bidding tips / strategies? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! ZWP
