Fvmass1w Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 I am looking for some bidding strategy help. We are looking for a 4 star or higher hotel for checkin on June 23 and checkout on June 27. We are looking at MTW, Times Square and Central Park South. Along with MTE as a last option. Any suggestions on a strategy, starting bid and how high we will need to go? Are we better off waiting another week and trying closer to the trip date?Any help would be appreciated.
thereuare Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!At the moment i'm guessing that you're looking at $200+ per nite for this stay, we'll star lower, but i think your bidding will likley go over the $200 mark.What is your maximum budget (per nite before taxes and fees) for this stay? Did you want to only bid for MTW, CPS, and TS up to your limit first, then if rejected start over while including MTE... OR is your goal the least expensive property in any of the 4 zones?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Fvmass1w Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Posted June 5, 2010 At this point we will pay what it takes, but for what we are looking for I see it in the $300 dollar range on other sites, so its got to be lower then that.Our preference is to be in MTW, CPS, and TS and if we can't make it there to start over with MTE.
thereuare Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 How high do you want to go for the MTW, CPS, and TS before including the MTE zone in the mix?Did you not want to include the ESB zone in your bidding at any point?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Fvmass1w Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Posted June 5, 2010 $225At this point I don't think we want to include ESB.Are we better off waiting another week before we start out bidding? Do you get better deals closer to the date?
thereuare Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 To confirm... you wanted to bid up to $225 for the MTW, CPS and TS zones. Then if rejected, star over at lower levels including the MTE zone?Are we better off waiting another week before we start out bidding?
