Hello, I would like to tell you that I was very successful with your suggestions on bidding. I am not sure how to change this thread to a "win" but here is what I did. I choose to bid on a 5*, starting with Chelsea at $260, no go, then adding $265, no go, then adding harlem $270, no go, then adding grand central $275---WON.....soho, The Smyth $275 a night 10/13/16-10/16/16. Priceline: Restuarant, Free Internet, Pets, Fitness Center, Non Smoking. Absolutely amazing deal. Again, thank you
