Priceline Hotel: 3* JFK Bid rejected

[Cherirn74]

I tried bidding on a 3* near JFK, hoping for Marriott Courtyard, I bid $70, got rejected and added Jamaica and went up to $75 and was rejected again. I think on here I saw that you can add Bayside as there are no 3* there. Is that right? I now have to wait 24 hours. I have never used PRICELINE before and can use any advice. Oh, I am going 9/26-9/28. I know it's last minute.

I am also bidding on 3* JFK (10/1-10/2). Stated about a month ago at $70. Last bid yesterday was $91. At $89, I got offer to increase by $20, which I did not do. Got same offer at $90 and $91. I may just take HOTWIRE 2-1/2* at $89. Let's keep each other in the loop. Not much on these boards about JFK.

I also got the offer to increase to $90, but I didn't. I will definitely keep you in the loop. I will try tomorrow. I was also looking at the HOTWIRE one too! I will probably get something tomorrow. My time is running out.

They offered to increase you from $70 - $90 and I'm at $91 and they still want an additional $20 from me. Maybe I should go back to $70. Then I'll take the $20 increase.

Cherirn74,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please start by reading your messages.

Unless rates have changed since you last bid, you should be successful at some amount at $90 or less... what is your maximum bid for this stay? I'll also ask if you're familiar with NYC and if you have reason to be in the JFK area as it's not typically where users will stay for more than one nite (usually just pre/post flight stays). Are you trying to use this as a less expensive option to staying in Manhattan?

What is the rate and amenities associated with the 2.5* HOTWIRE property?
