nwvo Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hello,I am going to be in NYC on 3/15-3/18. I am open to staying anywhere in the city. I would like to book a 3.5 star+ for as cheap as possible. Thinking somewhere in the range of $100-$125 a night. Can someone help with a bidding strategy? Link to comment

nwvo Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It won't let me rebid. Says "We were not able to process this request since our records indicate you have already made a request for this same trip".I am the 3rd options for rebidding. Link to comment

nwvo Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Pardon my ignorance as I'm fairly new to this. Is there a somewhere I can read about what you mean by "rebid zones"? I'm adding pretty much anywhere else south of Central Park that is still available to be bid on. It's possible I did something wrong. Link to comment

I'm adding pretty much anywhere else south of Central Park that is still available to be bid on.Your mistake is most likely in the re-bid zones.Start with the link in the quote box above and see if you can identify your SIX re-bid zones. If you read the information at that link (no need to read the entire thread, the first 5-6 posts is sufficient) and are confused just post back and we'll break it down further for you.It's recommended that DON'T make any more beds until you have confirmed your re-bid zones with the board.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
