Thank you so much coolwulf for the quick responce.

The normal average price which can be booked directly at priceline for the Grand hyatt 4 stars in zone 9 is 131$ for this period, therefore i will wait a little before booking, since i still haver alot of time. thanks again for your support.

Thanks!

Wow that is more than I expected. At least now I know I'm wasting my time bidding $80!

Do you think you could try zone 1 for me?

Thanks for all the help coolwulf! That's comparable to a Hotwire hotel that I can be (somewhat) more certain of which property it is.

I see on BFT that on August 27 a member posted a successful bid for a 4* hotel, San Francisco, check-in date August 28 (& 29). He received the 4* USE Grand Hyatt Union Square for a final bid of $71 per night. Does this simply reflect the usual rise in rates in San Francisco in the Fall or is this price difference the reason you have chosen to delay your buy? Maybe I am comparing two different zones -- I know little about San Francisco. Very curious. Thanks.

I decided to delay my booking because of the normal rate which priceline offers for the Grand Hyatt, 131$ a night which can be booked directly, for a succesful bid i would have paid 126$ a night as coolwulf suggested.

At BB poeple are paying 65$ to 84$ for a succesful bid for this hotel.

I also have a backup reservation for another hotel, which can be cancelled any time. Therefore no need to rush in bidding.

Thank you very much... bid accepted at 83.. Hotel: Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza, price listed on their website, starting at 129++

Royalpool, I think you've made the right decision to wait awhile as opposed to buying now. With a rack rate of $131, it doesn't make much sense to pay $126 via Priceline's "name your own price" method. And as additional info, the rack rate of $131 can also be found directly at Hyatt.com. For a 7 night stay, it would pay to book directly with the hotel (for the same price) as it would to book through Priceline's retail channel. If you joined Hyatt's frequent guest program, you would earn some nice points on a 7 night stay. Lastly, booking direct with the hotel would give you some greater leverage with regard to room type, etc. That is only advice if you had to book rack rate. But as you indicated, I think you can do better by waiting in this instance. Good luck to you!
