This list is not going to be hundred percent accurate! This is just to give you a reasonably good idea of what kind of hotels you have a shot at getting in any particular zone or star level. Once you have a feel for the hotels in the area, I usually go back to the main list for the city and see what people have been paying for hotels:. You also need to put in the name of the person the reservation will be in.
You can wait 24 hours and start over. Hmmm, I was just about to book our Christmas hotel, but I might need to look into this. I am definitely a pay-for-convenience person, but this could be worth the hassle.
Don't spill the beans about the CVV code! Hotels in popular destinations such as New York and London always have a high occupancy rate and may be sold out if you book too later. During peak periods, it may be necessary to book even earlier than 4 months in advance. On the other hand, there are so many hotels in Las Vegas that you can always get a room on Priceline no matter what the occasion.
Therefore, if you are going to wait before booking, I recommend having a backup plan. Book a hotel elsewhere that can be cancelled. This way, you have a hotel room locked in, and can wait for a better deal by bidding on Priceline.
If you find a better deal, grab it and cancel your original reservation. As a general rule, I recommend a better bidding strategy of booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance of your travel dates.
If your destination is experiencing a peak period or you simply want peace of mind, book earlier. Booking up to 4 months in advance may be required. While it is possible to get last minute deals by waiting until the last minute, selection can be very limited and in some cases, you may end up paying more.
If you choose to hold out for a better deal, book a refundable hotel that you can use as a backup plan. Find out what hotel others have received on Priceline by visiting our list of actual Priceline hotels.
