aowens Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Hi there. I will be in the city next Tuesday and am unsure of what a reasonable bid would be to stay in a 3* in either Times Square or MTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
AaronJB Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Please provide your desired budget per night, and are you interested in bidding for MTW/TS only - or are there other acceptable zones?Thank you for using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.
aowens Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Posted October 21, 2010 Ideally I'd like to stay around $160, but I have no idea if that's realistic. I would also bid in CPS.Thanks so much!
thereuare Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Based upon current prices i don't think $160 is going to be realistic. You can certainly give it a try, but my guess is that at the moment you're looking closer to $200+. We'll suggest a straetgy for you to give it a go, but before doing so, would MSG, ESB and/or Chelsea work for your needs? ESB would just be another opportunity or a hotel to accept your bid, but MSG and Chelsea are often some of the less expensive zones at the 3* level in NYC.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aowens Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Posted October 22, 2010 For this particular trip I really need to stay within TS, CPS and MTW.
thereuare Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 At the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zone. 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.Select 3* CPS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* MTW...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* CPS and MTW...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* CPS and TS...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* TS, CPS and MTW...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160Any 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.

aowens Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Posted October 22, 2010 I read the re-bid zone and I don't completely get it :-/For any of the zones I'm looking for (TS, MTW, CPS) would Coney Island be the re-bid zone because it's highest rating is 2*?Thanks!
thereuare Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Yes... Coney Island is your current re-bid zone (but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed since you last checked)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

aowens Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 We ended up bidding $170 and got the Millennium Broadway Hotel for a total of $212.66. Thanks so much for your help :)

stylishtrvlr Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 thereuare, I think the winning bid was for 2010 not 2011.
