marciopsiq Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Out of luck! I was wondering if someone could help me estimate $ for next biddings... dates are nov 29 through dec 8.thanks!!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 This is usually among the most expensive periods of the year (if not the most expensive) with people coming in for holiday shopping/festivities.What would be your desired budget per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

marciopsiq Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 $250 tops. I've been looking at other sites and hotel sites too and everything is really expensive, more than $400... I am considering to start looking for areas I have never been very much interested before, like Chelsea, Midtown Central and Downtown. Do you have any suggestions about these areas' properties? thank you. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Currently i'm guessing you're looking at $300+ for a 4* hotel for these dates. If $250 is your maximum bid i think you'll likely need to consider other zones and lower your star rating.Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

marciopsiq Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yes, splitting in two would be an option. Would that be a better chance on 4* properties? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I just re-read your topic title... i'm assuming this is 2011 (and not as posted, 2012)??I'm guessing that SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID will not help much, but if you want to give it a shot, i would bid as follows:At the 4* level you have FIVE re-bid zones.

marciopsiq Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thank you again for your answer, but I have managed to book the 10 days through HOTWIRE! It was a decent deal for that time, I guess...Hudson HotelAmenities: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Don't love this property(it'll be the 4th time either PRICELINE or HOTWIRE gets me there), but it's a great location for me and considering the sky high prices in nyc at that time and lots of unsucessful priceline biddings, I think value is ok for me!
