Thanks Guys (flawless win~ wit priceline)
Thereuare,
Yes, still bidding for a 4* in MSG, MTE, MTW, or TS. Please revise the previous strategy, thanks. Max bid $175/nite.
My new maximum bid is $175/nite because with taxes comes close to the property listed in Hotwire. I got a counter when I was bidding $130 MTE/MTW but I did not take it. It was $169 the counter.
Thanks
4* Midtown Central area 2 NIGHTS 11/13/13 to 11/15/13 is listed $161/nite
Amenities
Pet friendly
Smoke Free Rooms
Fitness Center
Restaurant(s)
Business Center
Internet access
Which one is your guess? Thanks guys!
Aaron then is probably near 144 then.... Ok. Should I follow a similar strategy but starting at 140?
It was in one of the mid-town bids around 130 that counter offer 169 but I did not take it.
I did all the way to $144 and did not win, seems the property went up I got a counter offer $169.
I think I need to go up a bit more but I have to wait 72hrs now. I think I'll give a try to Priceline bidding increasing the bids up to $175/night because
Hotwire has one property 4* Midtown for $161/nite any guess of what hotel might be? With taxes etc comes to close to 200/night or so.
If you have a suggestion I gladly accept it, should I try priceline again but starting at 140 and see if I get a hotel for less than 161 or go with Hotwire?
Thanks for this awesome site.
Just to confirm, are the 2 free bid zones for 4 stars the following?
Long Island City (LIS)
Morningside heights Harlem (MHH)
Thanks again for the strategy. I will try and report back.
Yes. My max bid then is $175 per night. Otherwise I'll use HOTWIRE ESB to get any of those properties
Please suggest a strategy to follow, thanks!!!
MSG, MTE, MTW and TS are all acceptable . Max bid 200 per night. Thank yoy
thereuare, thanks! will decide and post results here. Thanks for your advice!
MTE, MTW and TS I am thinking ~$180-$200 the dates 11/13 through 11/16
Can you kindly suggest a strategy for me to follow.?
Thanks!

You are welcome! I figured out that adding that zone at the end wasn't the best idea. But hey I added 2 new hotels for Spain list, one in Madrid and one in Barcelona. Is all good. Happy bidding! Thanks
For this one I am think I didn't follow the best strategy. Any comments about strategy are welcome. I think i made a mistake! (should have close it and check the east zone alone?). I found hard bidding with all zones having 4* and 5* :)
