asnman22 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hi. I am traveling to NY on 9/7/14 till 9/15. I would like at least a 3* or higher hotel. I don't want to spend more than $200 a night if possible. Desired locations are Midtown Central or MSG/Hells Kitchen but also open to Financial district, Chelsea area. I saw on Hotwire that there were a couple 3.5* for $246 which is still too high for me. What do you think my best bidding strategy should be? I don't know how low I can get through priceline. Thanks for your advice. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! The zones you have listed are from HOTWIRE and PRICELINE uses slightly different names and boundaries for their zones. For help with a bidding strategy please include the PRICELINE zones (by priceline name) that you're willing to accept and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow. Also, please list all zones you want to try on your first round of bidding... if your goal is the least expensive hotel out of any of the zones you are willing to accept, then include them all... if you only would consider (for example) the Financial District if all of your bids for the other zones are rejected, then don't include this zone for your first round of bidding.

asnman22 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I am fine with the areas MSG, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Midtown West, Time Square-Theatre District, and will accept Soho-Tribecca and Financial District as my last choices. I hope that makes sense. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 To further confirm/clarify... Did you want to start by bidding for a 3* hotel up to $200/nite in any of the MSG, HK, Chelsea, MTW, TS zones... then if that is rejected start over and include the Soho and Financial District zones in your bidding? Is this correct? Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
