Thanks for the suggestion! We'll be sure to check it out!

Booked using the PRICELINE link. I'd been looking for a few weeks, and as recent as 2 days ago, I couldn't get anything for even $230, and no offer for "raise your bid". Today I saw on Hotwire that prices seemed slightly lower. At $190, I got an offer for $224 a night, so instead I went in and big $215 and got this. I was willing to do TImes Square, Chelsea, Midtown West, Midtown East. I've never stayed at this hotel, so I'm looking forward to it! Thanks Better Bidding!

Helped a friend do this, I did show her the site, hope she used the links.

She started at $120, re-bid zones Upper East Side, Queensboro Bridge, MSG, Long Island City, Coney Island, got 2 rooms at $150.

I usually don't stay in Chelsea but I wanted to be closer to something and the only one on the list was the Sheraton 4 Points. Well I got this Holiday Inn at 3*. I started my bidding at $135 and it was accepted (there are only 3 no-bid zones so i didn't want to start too low since I needed it for tonight).

Anyway, this is a new hotel to add to the list. Looks like it was renovated in 2007.

We ended up having to really split this up due to the timing and the cost. I'll have to look up the exact wins, but for 2 nights, we couldn't even get in the ballpark for Times Square. I think we did a combination of hotwire and priceline (using the links from this forum), stayed at 4 different hotels, and did save money from what we would have spent.

Would you want a separate post for each win? I had been out of town and then a friend got sick in the hospital so I wasn't around to update.

Oh yes, forgot to add that the PRICELINE links from this forum were used. It's so much easier that way!!! Makes it easy and gives you guys volume!

We had been looking at hotwire to see what was available, and also at Expedia to track individual nights. It seemed that Monday night was significantly more expensive. Anyway, HOTWIRE was at $286 for what appeared to be the Millenium, which would have been acceptable but we wanted to go lower. Started bidding at $190, and it was rejected, but with a "one-time" offer if you increased your bid by $25, given the choice of location, dates, and star level. So we went for it, and got the Millenium for the 3 nights. I personally don't find the Millenium to be quite up to 4*, but it is a great location if you are seeing shows. Once I even got upgraded to The Premier, which was great.

Hi, I've been reading this with a friend and gone over all of the rebidding...etc etc. I think i understand.

We are looking for NYC, TS only, for 4/30-5/6. We'll split if we have to (seems money 5/5 is very pricey). Budget is that we want to save a lot of money, but we could go up to $300 if we have to.

Also, we can both do the bidding/rebidding if we have to.

So we would try something like the following?

Bid 4* TS $140

Bid 4* TS UES $145

Bid 4* TS UWS $150

Bid 4* TS LIC $155

Bid 4* TS BKLN $160

Bid 4* TS UES UWS $165

Bid 4* TS UES LIC $170

Bid 4* TS UES BKLN $175

Bid 4* TS UWS LIC $180

Bid 4* TS UWS BKLN $185

Bid 4* TS LIC BKLN $190

Bid 4* TS UES UWS LIC $195

Bid 4* TS UES UWS BKLN $200

Bid 4* TS UWS LIC BKLN $205

(if we get nothing, other person can do the same, starting at a higher spot so we can get up to $250?)

Does that seem right?

QUestions....

-Do you have to close the browser after every bid?

-Is it often a problem to do a 6-night stay? Will we have a better chance splitting it?

Thanks for your help and the great site.
