MarkGA1 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 HiComing to NYC for a getaway weekend to do tourist stuff.In the popular tourist areas, what is the normal difference in winning bids between 4*, 3.5* and 3* hotels?Thanks for the help.
AaronJB Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Which PRICELINE zones would you be interested in bidding on, and what would be your desired budget per night?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
MarkGA1 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Posted April 5, 2010 4* or 3.5*Hoping for $150 all in - but will go up as needed.Area - ESB, MSG, TS, MTE, MTW, CPSDates 4/22-4/25Thanks for the help.
Andee Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 I've bid up to $150 (before taxes) for those dates in Times Square and all the free re-bid zones without success. Maybe I'll have better luck closer to arrival.
kellysmom Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 I have gone up to $200 all in for mid May. I bid three and a half stars and four for zones 2 & 10 with rebids in $5 increments. Nothing yet
MarkGA1 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Posted April 20, 2010 OK - can one of you masters provide the best bidding strategy for1st try to get a 4*, up to $175 bid price, for zones MTE, MTW, CPS, ESB, MSG, TSand if that doesn't hit, I'd then like to try to bid up to $150 for a 3.5* in the same areas.Thanks in advance.
