First bid of $35 rejected.

Added rebid zone (Cordova) and bid $37...accepted!

Thanks for this site! I've learned a LOT here and feel like I got a great deal the first time I tried it for myself!

Congratulation on your win, glad to know we have been helpful. Was this your first bid in the zone or were you rejected at lower levels previous to this acceptance?

You know this is all just practive for your big upcoming NYC stay! :)

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the rest of us (as i'm sure others will learn from it in the future... and the cycle continues). This also adds a new hotel to our lists!!

Enjoy your stay.

My first bid was $35 for 3* Memphis (East).

It was rejected, so I added Memphis (Cordova) and bid $37, which was accepted.

And I do consider this practice for NY! :)

Speaking of that...could I ask a question? We've actually decided to change our dates to May 28 - June 2 for the NYC part of our trip and are thinking of renting a car and driving across the state to see Niagara Falls June 2 - 4 as it doesn't cost any more for us to split our air ticket from mem to ewr and then from buffalo back to mem....after reading so much great stuff about the famous Hyatt in Jersey City and the low priceline rate possibilities for it, I was wondering what you think of our chances of getting the Hyatt (OR another 3* Jersey City property :) ) for $60 or less for those dates.

Hotwire has the 3.5* property believed to be the Hyatt for $108 for those dates already, but the Hyatt website says $274, so I figure it will be awhile before they release any really low prices to Priceline. (I already tried a $38 bid just for fun).

Any insights into a plan would be helpful!

Oh, and if anyone knows of any scenice routes between jersey city and niagara falls, let me know! We'd like to take in as much scenery of New York State as we can during that drive.

Thanks a lot!

Please post the above NYC questions in your PRICELINE New York thread so that there is continuity and it may help to serve others down the road who might be considering a NYC to Niagara trip (as they certainly won't find it here in the TN forum)

Thanks.
