First aval, sorry by any English errors. I'm brazilian and don't speak/write well the language. It was my first experience with Priceline, and I really enjoyed. From the begging, I've started made bids just in Times Square zone, from 3.5* to 4* hotels, from U$ 160 until my maximum bid, U$ 250, and from 10/28 to 11/01, 2 rooms. I've made a lot of bids that I've lost the count. Then, because of the unsucessful trying, I've decided to consider the possibility to stay in a hotel at the MTW zone, that is really near the TS. So, I've tryied the same paramethers of the inicial proposal of staying, and again, I was unsucessful. As my family wanted to visit Washington DC, and because of the "split dates" tips, I've consider another dates instead of that I really wanted to obtain sucess. I restarted again with Times Square, from 10/28 to 10/31, leaving the last night for Washington DC. Once, the bids have failed, and I included the MTW zone. The last bid that I've tried before get accepted was U$235,00. After all, I get the 2 rooms from U$ 250,00 each, and a 3* hotel in Washington DC from U$70,00 per room/per night, saving a lot, then.
