Priceline Hotel: 4* Newark (Jersey City) Westin

[nichan]

Wow this one was interesting, saw that someone got the Jersey City Hyatt for $73 on 2/2-2/3/11, using this info I started my bid on 2/13 as so, concentrating only on 4* and submitting only 1 bid per day (no rebids adding other zone even though I know I could)

2/13 Bid $74 and was countered if I add $20 for a total of $94 my bid would be accepted, did the same from 2/14-2/18 and increased bid by $1 each day and was countered with add $20 each time. Today I increased bid amount to $83 and was countered with if I add $25 my bid would be accepted. I decided to add another zone and increased bid to $86 which was accepted. Priceline was showing the average hotel was $199 up until today when it showed $179.

Hotels in the area were going as follows, Courtyard $139, Doubletree $139 (today 130) , Westin $143, Hyatt $199 (today $179) W Hotel $199

Very happy with the outcome. The days of $55 for the Hyatt are long gone, but it was nice while it lasted
