Got the Doubletree Hotel in the Financial District for $73 using your PRICELINE link. Thanks! Very satisfied with the result - this hotel also doesn't charge the "resort" fee that many NYC hotels apparently do so that was also a plus. I like the location as my primary reason for going to NYC is for some events at Barclays Center that weekend so it's a shorter ride from that part of NYC anyway. On my first bid of $58, Priceline game a counteroffer of $82 which I refused. As an FYI I'd given you MTW as one of my zones but I meant MTE so I used MTE in my bidding instead. But thanks again!

Requesting bidding strategy for 3.5* or better priced at $110 or below for 1/13/17 (one night trip). Would like to target the following NYC zones: Chelsea, DT, ESB, MTW, TS, HK. Would strongly prefer 4* in this price range (so going for 4* would be my first goal) but 3.5* is also perfectly fine. (From what I've researched initially 4* in this price range might be doable for this date???) If 4* is not reasonable for this price range will go with 3.5*, no problem. Any help is much appreciated. As always I'll use your PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin my purchases...

Yeah, this was a Priceline Express deal. The amenities were: - Indoor or Outdoor Pool - Free Parking - Restaurant - Business Center - Casino - Fitness Center

Considering rates are sky high for Mayweather fight 9/12-9/14 am pleased with this deal.

Both hotels are Las Vegas North area hotels with casinos. Staying two nights (9/12-9/14) Hotel 1: - 3.5* - $60 - Amenities: Free Parking, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Golf Nearby - Still gathering reviews (so no % recommended) Hotel 2: -4* -$93 - Amenities: Free Parking, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Golf Nearby - 85% recommended - Resort fee ~14.99/night Thanks!

Used your strategy and Priceline links and got bid accepted at $128/night at the Marriott Downtown!!! Maybe would've preferred to be closer to Times Square/Midtown but am familiar enough with getting around the city that I guess it doesn't really matter... couldn't be more pleased with this deal at the price. Terrific deal for a very highly regarded hotel, thanks!!!

Just checked out the Hudson Hotel - it would be OK with me and OK to leave CPS in my bidding, thanks...

LOL, sorry for for your experience. Saw a weekend price for $107/night recently and was about to book the hotel myself... until I found out it was a gay hotel located a relatively long walk from the nearest subway station (which was a surprise considering the central location). Priceline should perhaps consider no longer offering this hotel... the reality is there is a very large portion of the population uncomfortable staying at a gay hotel so probably not a good idea to have people bidding on a hotel like that without knowing what they're getting into LOL. The fact that the hotel is located on top of a loud nightclub makes it even worse...

Okay, let's try first for 4* or higher within budget of $140 as you suggest. If that doesn't work think I'll just go with the $154/night deal on Hot.wire if it's still available. This same hotel was actually $142 last week so based on that would expect price to keep going up as that will be a busy weekend I think (annual Puerto Rican day parade; HBO PPV boxing at Madison Square Garden).

6/6 - 6/8 for $154/night 4* Midtown Central 90% recommended Amenities: Pet friendly Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center Self service laundry Internet access

Hi! Was wondering if you think maximum bid of $140 is realistic for 3.5* or better for two nights in NYC (6/6 - 6/8)? Am only willing to stay in Manhattan in the following areas: CPS, Chelsea, DT, ESB, MSG, MTE, MTW, TS, HK If so, would like to request bidding strategy, thanks!!!

I bid up to $107 using your PRICELINE links and bidding strategy up through the bidding for Downtown/Strip North/Strip South and was rejected. I didn't pursue your bidding strategy for 4th rebid zone/Strip North/Strip South because I preferred the Priceline.Express price of $110/night (after discount) for 4* Downtown (which I knew would be the Golden Nugget) over a random 4* (e.g., Tropicana) they might have given me on the Strip at a higher price (which would have been a long shot anyway given my price range and the hotel rates that particular weekend). I did use your discount link to make the purchase on Priceline.Express. Very satisfied with this deal, thanks! Have stayed on the Strip every other time I've been in Vegas so saw this as an opportunity to try a new location as I've heard the Golden Nugget is a very good quality hotel. Will have a rental car anyway so getting back and forth between the Strip isn't a problem. Thanks again!

Option #1, thanks!!!

Yeah, absolute maximum bid for both Strip North and Strip South $125/night (just increased it by $5) for 4* or better.. Would prefer the $105/night Downtown over the $125/night on the Strip since I'll have a rental car and believe the 4* hotel Downtown to be much preferable in terms of quality to the 4* hotels commonly won on the Strip. Thanks!

Hi, I'd be willing to go up to $120 for 4* Strip South only - don't want to pay more than $105 for Downtown, thanks...

Requesting bidding assistance for Vegas. Coming in Friday, 5/2 and checking out Sunday, 5/4 (2 nights). Would like to stay at 4* hotel or better for maximum of $100/night. Would this be unrealistic considering it's a busy weekend (Mayweather fight)? Willing to stay in Strip North, Strip South, or Downtown Vegas. Any assistance appreciated, thanks!

Yes, those were the amenities associated with this property. As further confirmation I've copied + pasted the amenities from my trip details below: Airport Shuttle Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom

I bid on 3* using your PRICELINE link and betting strategy but was rejected. Went through your HOTWIRE link to purchase 3* Ramada Gaslamp at $82/night. Very satisfied with this deal. Thanks and will be back!!!

Ok thanks. I want to bid on 3* in Gaslamp up to $100 (which I assume could conceivably still land me 3.5* or 4* if I'm lucky). If that doesn't work I'll see if that Ramada is still available at that price and take that...

Hilton San Diego ($209) - Don't want to pay that much Palomar San Diego ($150) - I'd consider it for like $120 but I'll have a car and looks like they want $35/day for parking so no thanks Ramada Gaslamp ($85) - This one looks doable. Would you recommend just taking this over trying for another 3* in Gaslamp? I'm looking at the Priceline list of hotels and it looks like there maybe aren't any 3* PRICELINE hotels in Gaslamp (skips from 3.5 down to 2.5)? If there aren't any Priceline 3* hotels in Gaslamp I'll probably just go with this one or try for 3.5/4* in surrounding area. Sorry - I'm not knowledgeable about San Diego hotels so let me know what you think, thanks!!!

I've clicked both links before replying to this post. I've decided for these dates to just use an old comp I have to stay at one of the Caesar's hotels (where I don't have to pay resort fees since I'm a Diamond member) and save money rather than pay $100+/night and resort fees on top of that. I did bid up to $90 but was rejected. Thanks for your help!

Hi, just tried using your betting strategy using your PRICELINE links and ended up going to $110 at very end. Bids were rejected. If possible would like to try for 3* in Gaslamp Quarter before trying for 4*/3.5* in a neighboring zone...

Hi - I just clicked on both the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links before replying. If you don't mind I'd like to try your first suggestion (4* in Gaslamp, followed by 3.5*, etc. then surrounding zones) as that seems to better suit my needs. As always, very much appreciate your help...

Would rather try for a 3* first. Would greatly prefer 3 or 3.5* in Gaslamp Quarter area over 4* anywhere else but am also willing to stay in areas immediately bordering Gaslamp Quarter such as Downtown or Hillcrest...

Staying in San Diego 9/18-9/19 (2 nights) and would like to stay in 3* hotel or better paying a maximum of $100/night. Would very greatly prefer to stay in Gaslamp Quarter area but also willing to stay in areas immediately nearby, such as Downtown-Harbor Island and Hillcrest-Balboa Park areas. Will have car and am traveling back and forth between downtown San Diego and Tijuana (won't actually be taking car into Tijuana though). Ready to bid immediately so any help appreciated, thanks!!!
