firsttimer Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi, I am planning a trip to New York, dates as above.For the time being I am interested only in MTW 4*, as there is quite a lot of time before I travel and this is my preferred location. I am willing to consider other areas once I have exhausted all options for this one area.Is it too early to bid, as my trip is still 6 months away?Looking at other sites current prices for my dates are:Westin New York at Times Square $349Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers $259The Muse $349Renaissance New York Times Square $349My maximum bid at present is going to be $190. I do understand the rebid process.Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks i advance. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 My advice is to expand your horizons beyond MTW... MTE and UM/CPS are just as convenient to getting around the city and any amount extra that it will cost to stay in your "prefered zone of MTW" just isn't worth it; but it's your trip and you know your specific needs better than i do.With the above noted, if you only want to bid MTW you have two re-bid zones at the 4* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120.If the above is rejected i would follow 24 hours later with the same as above, but raise each bid by $15 (so bidding $125, $130, $135).I wouldn't bid more than $135 (maybe $140) this early before your stay.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and keep us updated as to your progress.
