YES!!! Ended up with a 4* accepted bid of $156/night at THE ROOSEVELT hotel. It looks awesome!! With taxes and fees, all in it came to $970. Conventional booking (through their site) was $1800!!!!! Dang! So excited. 

I essentially followed the rebidding layout above, but I can't remember for sure where I deviated. I don't know if there is a way to find the history? Of what I added and what I Bid?? I'd love to provide that, but may not be able to. ROUGHLY (not sure which bid I added which zone after the first 3... but they all were under 4* ratings, so I was guaranteed to stay in the first 3 areas that I wanted)

this is what I did:

Bid $110, Times Square
Bid $120, added South Central Park
Bid $125, Added Rock Center
Bid $130, Added Jamaica
Bid $135, Added Washington Heights
Bid $138,Added LaGuardia Airport
Bid $130, Added Kennedy Airport

Bid $143, Added Bronx
Bid $145, Added  Coney Island
Bid $148,Added Morningside Heights
Bid $150, Added Bayside
Bid $153, Added Elmhurst-Corona

Bid $156 Added Flushing-Whitestone - ACCEPTED.

Hey! Wondering if someone can help me put with rebid zones for nyc. 

I was given this as a guideline, but I'm paranoid I'll add a zone and end up far from where I want to be! Haha!

Select 4* Times Square, Rock Center, Central Park
Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $150

Let's stick with those zones. Max bid of $150. (If possible)

Husband and I are going NYC June 13-June 18. We're looking for a hotel and we're pretty flexible on zone. BUT My preference would be: Times Square - Theatre District, Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park, or Central Park South. Husband is insisiting on a 4* or better (we're celebrating our 10 year annniversary) 

(Sidenote, there IS a 4* Express Deal in the Rockefeller Center - Bryant Park area for $160/night. When it adds the taxes and fees, it puts me at $994.95, before the 5% discount through this site's link. Question - Will I/Could I owe more hotel fees upon arrival? I don't love that kind of a risk.)

BIDDING HELP - I started bidding as follows :

$110 TSTD and RCBP zones 
$120 ADDED CPS
Waited for the next day
$135 TSTD RCBP
$137 added CPS

Here's where I'm at. Suggestions on how to land this thing!? I'm looking at some others' winning bids and I want to get a steal if possible. Thanks so much!!!
