BeckyBC03 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi, I am looking for some bidding strategy help. We are looking for a 4 star or higher hotel for checkin on June 11 and checkout on June 13. We are open to MTW, MTE, Times Square and Central Park South. I currently have a backup booked at the Muse for $307 per night so my max priceline bidding budget is $275/night because otherwise it isn't worth the uncertainty. I know that this is a big weekend in NYC so any advice you can give me on where, pricing wise, you have seen rooms book would be much appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment
woolooloo Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I can't help you with a 4*, but I just posted my priceline win for a 3.5* (Millenium Broadway) for $210.Why is it a big weekend? Link to comment

thereuare Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones. 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.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 4* MTW, MTE, TS. and CPS..Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, MTE, TS. and CPS and re-bid zone5..Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, MTE, TS. and CPS and re-bid zone6..Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $195, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, MTE, TS. and CPS and re-bid zone5 and re-bid zone6..Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $215, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $220Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

BeckyBC03 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 While I doubt a Sheraton will be anything "special," the location is perfect and it sure beats paying $307/night! I used the PRICELINE link you provided to start all of my bids. Thank you again for the strategy. Link to comment
