  1. just wanted to stay the Vdara is AWESOME! It's great, ther eis no casinos or crazy stuff, it's a chic and classy hotel without all the roudy 20 year olds. It's a good hotel for couples who are in their late 20s and early/late 30s. Thanks for this site and allowing me to experience a 5 star in Vegas at a reasonable cost considering Britney was in town. :-) The rooms are super swanky... and huge. They are all suites wtih a kitchen, dining room, living area. Loved this hotel.
  2. I was really hoping to win the Wynn or Venetian or Aria, but I got the Vdara.. which isn't bad at all. I started my bid at 100 but had to go up to 155. I believe it is because Britney Spears is in town that weekend. And I had success after 5 bids in a row. Thanks for continuing this site! :-) and I used the PRICELINE link provided to perform my bid.
  3. i'm so annoyed i won this hotel. it is so not a 4*. it looks so crappy. i really wanted something in the Champs Elysses zone and I added this Opera East area... 'assuming' all the 4 stars would be okay. I guess this is European standard. 115 - champs elysses - rejected 120 - latin quarter - rejected 125 - accepted is it just me or do you think this hotel is below a 4*. i hope its good.
  4. added 4* Buckhead, bid $70 - rejected added 4* Kennesaw bid $75 - WON Intercontinental Buckhead. 1/15 - 1/17 Kennesaw is a free zone!
  5. selected 'mayfair soho', 4*, 75 - rejected selected 'regents part', 4*, 85 - rejected selected 'kensington' , 4*, 90 - rejected. i reallllllllly wanted mayfair or regents, i knew i would win the holiday inn with kensington, so for the next round, i bid higher. selected mayfair-soho, 4*, 100 - rejected selected regents park, 4*, 110 - accepted. hilton metropole! I"M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
  6. :) OK FINALLY I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grand Hyatt at $150. I've been trying religiously for 2 weeks and what made the difference is I used a different creditcard. I've been using my creditcards the past 2 weeks, I borrowed my friend's this time and it worked. I think Priceline remembers everything, not sure if i had to wait 72 hours to bid again, i was so impatient I tried almost everyday. I went thru savingsbarn.com Here's how i did it... MTW - $130 - rejected UM-CPark - $140 - rejected MTE - $145 - rejected MTS - $150 - WON Thank you!! I'm so happy, its going to be an awesome valentine's weekend!!!!!!!!!
  7. this is just a follow up to close this topic. i didn't end up bidding on this because i had a change of plan.
  8. hi i'm not following what you mean by 3x? 3 times? not following.
  9. hi.. i spaced out my bids by a couple days and tried again today - still nothing. i have used the bidding strategy you suggested. someone else won the hyatt at 140. i bid up to 155 and stopped. -n
  10. none of my bids accepted, i stopped trying at 145... started at 130 and added MTE, MTW, UM rejected. 135 - added TSQ rejected. 140 - added MTW rejected 145 added UPE rejected
  11. i have another question on PL technique. so the users bid, but what is going on in the background? does PL say "ok, i'm going to put a hotel out there for 140 - lets say "the benjamin" in MTE". now a bidder like me, if i put in MTE, MTW at 120. its rejected. if i put in MTE, MTW, TSQ at 130. rejected. if i go up to 140 with all the zones above and MTS, do i win?? if i am not winning any of the bids, then perhaps there are no available hotels in PL's queue. how does it work??
  12. Hi... I have a question, when you say "Select 4* MTE and MTW and MTS.... Bid $100 and so on... Should I select all 3 zones and then bid $100, then add another zone like TSQ. then bid $105. OR do u mean, bid $100 select MTE, then bid $105 and select MTW?? Please clarify. thanks again
  13. i'm flexible... i'll add UM_CPS location. I just thought it was too high up, but it is fine. anything at this point.
  14. oh and my max bid would be 150. i guess 155 if nothing else. but not more than that
  15. ok. can you please send me a bidding strategy. i just figured i could enter an amount and keep going higher and adding zones. when u say, close your browser and refresh, once you select 3 zones, do you want us to close the browser and re-do the whole strategy? this way all the zones are UNCHECKED?? i bid up to 155 yesterday and quit. this is what i want... 4* - nothing below. MTS - anything here. TSQ - anything but millenium broadway and hilton TSQ (i've stayed here, but i know i don't have control over this). MTE - anything but grand hyatt (but i know i don't have control over this) MTW - anything but hilton 6th ave (stayed here). if you think i have to start with a really high bid for MTS cause it is more expensive, then i can start with TSQ. I really appreciate your help. i did also try splitting up the bids and bidding sat night... and then based on that i was going to hotwire the other night, i wasn't successful in winning for just sat night. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! -N
  16. Thanks for sharing your win. I tried $130 (tsq) $140 (MTW) $150 (MTE) all rejected. it is sooooooo weird. maybe PL recognizes my creditcard or something. i've never been so unsuccessful at bidding before. someone won fri-sun , valentine's weekend for $130.
  17. I have been trying for several days to book a 4* room in manhattan. unsuccessful. Started with MTS - 4*. started at 120. Added MTE - 130 Added TSQ - 140 Added UPEast - 145 (free zone) Also added MTW. I tried another day and started at 125 and worked my way up to $10 increments. The highest I have bid is 150. Not sure why I am having so much trouble, and I am requesting a saturday and sunday night, figured i would get it instantly with the sunday night. I see people winning bids for Fri - Sun (2/22). I don't want anything below a 4* and i am willing to bid up to 150 or so. For 2/16-2/18. Please help. I used the savingsbarn.com link for PL. Thanks.
  18. i was hoping for a 4 star, cause anything below that in nyc sucks. but i know with new years eve it may be quite difficult.
  19. I am bumping up this thread, pls see below. advice on 12/31 - NYC hotel
  20. i didn't end up booking anything since the rates were so high that weekend.
  21. i didn't end up booking in CT, instead I booked in Providence, RI. I have posted that in Rhode Island.
  22. what are my chances of finding something NOW for dec 31? i would prefer any area in nyc except financial district. and looking to spend up to 200. is this unrealistic thereuare? i would start trying now though. thanks -n
  23. I really really want one of the Midtown South hotels (Park ave or Morgans). Zone - MTS, 4* Bid started at $110 Rejected Added Upper East (Free Zone) Bid $115 Rejected Added Upper West (free zone) Bid $120 Rejected. Opened up a new browser. Did all of the above but started bit at 125. Rejected added MTW Bid 132 Rejected I avoided adding MTE because I do not want the grand hyatt. this is for 8/25. I'm guessing the prices are higher because it is probably orientation week for college kids,. a lot of parents in town. Please help!
  24. Hilton Providence (downtown) $69 including tax and hotel cancellation ($5 included). 1 night - sept 1-2. booked from savingsbarn.com selected providence downtown selected 4* bid $50 rejected. selected 3* bid $40 rejected. waited a while and bid $50 (selected 3* and 4*) won the hilton providence. i was hoping for a 4* or the radisson/marriott for free parking. but this isn't bad, its in downtown.
