Bid Now Or Later???

I'm Departing June 2007 From Fort Lauderdale. We Need A Hotel For A Few Days Before And After. Should I Bid On Priceline Now Or Wait Until Last Minute?

I would go ahead and start bidding now. I did a bid six months in advance on a hotel in San Diego and got a winning bid for a 4* hotel for under a hundred dollars. Remember you can rebid now at the end of a 24 hour wait. See if you can get a counter offer. Good luck Tim.

As soon as I have my dates, I start my low bidding. Have you been doing research on accepted bids? Use that data to set a bidding strategy. I have always been successful doing it this way.

 

If you are the type that will get impatient and overbid because of frustration, I would suggest you wait until Spring to start bidding. I have seen far to many people overbid for a hotel because they didnt want to keep playing the rebidding game.

 

Good Luck

I bid on a hotel and got Crowne Plaza at MIA. Turns out, we're flying into FLL. Lesson learned. :)

June is the start of the slow season, so don't get in too big of a rush. I would start bidding now, but very low. I also wouldn't bid every day, wait a couple of weeks between bids.

Do your research and see what bids were successful for last June.
