ramelec Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 If i want to bid for a 4* hotel in New York City, can anyone please advise which zone(s) that does not have 4* hotel I should add in so that I can increase my chances of winning? I am looking for 2 rooms. Please advise and Thanks.
thereuare Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 When bidding 4* in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones. You need to know how to determine these yourself as they should be checked before every bidding cycle. What if we listed re-bid zones here and then before you bid a 4* hotel is added to one of these zone... you could potentially end up in a zone you didn't intend :)Use the following technique from Priceline Re-Bidding Explained:The way to check what star levels are available in each zone is to open a PRICELINE page, check ONLY the zone you are inquiring about, and then proceed to the next page (as if you were going to select a zone)... this will give you the available star ratings in that area. You can then hit BACK on your browser, uncheck the current box, check the next box, and repeat the process. It is important to do this before EACH attempt at adding a zone that you really don't want, as new hotels can be added and the star ratings can change at any time. (NOTE: for most users Priceline has updated their interface making the above process easier... simply check a zone and note the highest star rating available within each zone, UNcheck that zone and checkmark the next zone, repeating the process)If you're confused by the above just post back and we'll break it down further for you... otherwise feel free to confirm your SIX re-bid zones with the board.Also, if you'd like help with a biding strategy let us know the zone(s) you're willing to accept, maximum bid, and dates of your stay.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
