Gustavo Arizpe Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm planning to visit Boston and NYC by the end of October. What's the best time to bid? Should I bid now or wait, say two or three weeks before?Thanks in advance.Gustavo Link to comment

Gustavo Arizpe Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I've tried a lot of combinations, MW, ME, CPS, UWS and always are rejected. I've even offered $180 for 2 star hotel, and $150 for 1 star.I'm traveling to NYC on Wednesday Oct 18th through Saturday 21st (checkout) and then again on Wednesday, Oct 25 through Saturday 28th (checkout).I've made a preventive reservation at the Americana Inn, which is a shared bathroom Hotel for both Wed-Thu periods I'll be there, in case I don't find a better deal at Priceline.I'm willing to pay up to $160 for Friday and maybe $140 for Wed and Thursday. I've found all of my bids rejected. 2 or 3 Star would be great, I guess.Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Look at HOTWIRE... do you see anything remotely close to your maximum bids? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Gustavo Arizpe Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 No, I don't see anything remotely close to my budget. I'm willing to spend 160 at most, but even 200 I've offered for 3 stars hotels and I dont get a deal.In Hotwire I find 300 "deals"... Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Priceline is usually cheaper than HOTWIRE, but not by $100 (nor $150)... so your maximum bid is not likely realistic for these dates.You may also want to try EasyClickTravel as they often have some 1* and 2* rated properties, as well as some shared bath situations (check the Pickwick Arms on that front too) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
