BrettL Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I just wanted to say thank you for all of the useful information on this board. This was my first time using Priceline, so all of this information was very helpful!!I spent a couple weeks bidding daily with no success until I landed the W New York yesterday for 150 per night. This will be my first time staying in the city, I'm very happy with my results. If I remember I'll follow up with my hotel experience after my trip.Thanks again!!Brett
davetroy Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Hi, Brett,That seems to me like a great price for a very good place on a very busy weekend. I'm going to NYC this weekend, too. Can you possibly give us more details about how you bid before you got the W?Thanks,Dave

BrettL Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 I had been following the rebidding advice I found here using the PRICELINE links and used this general pattern.Select 4* MTE, MTW, TS and ESBBid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPSBid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE, MTW, TS, CPS and ESBBid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145In this final week, I was getting nervous so I started incrementing by $5 with each bid. I was surprised when I got the W because I was bidding at 3 and half star level and had just finished bidding 4* up to 175.
