generic Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Able to spend up to $250/night per room.Need two rooms.Subway access is important.Not sure how to best express this next criteria: My wife and I are taking my 50-year old mom, and she'd really like the area of the hotel to have the "big city" feel. That probably eliminates the downtown area, no? Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 At the 4* level i'd start with CPS, MTE, MTW, and TS.Please confirm if all of these zones are acceptable and if you're willing to bid up to $250 for a 4* hotel at this point in tme (if not what is your current maximum bid) and we'll suggest a strategy for your to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

generic Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 To confirm, my re-bid zones at 4* areBrooklynConey IslandLong Island CityMSG - Convention AreaQueensborough BridgeUpper East SideThank you.Also, is there a patter to the order of zone you suggested? For instance, are lower bids more commonly accepted in CPS? I plan to follow what you way exactly, but I was just curious. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, you have your re-bid zones correct, but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed.When suggesting bidding strategies we do try to take into consideration which zones are more likely to accept then others.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

generic Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 My final bid was accepted: $250/night at 4* Warwick (MTW).Thank you for your help! Online reviews seem very positive--it looks like I got a great value. Do I need to post the win somewhere else? I'm glad to do so, just couldn't seem to track down the exact protocol for posting wins. Thank you again!Edit: I wanted to mention I did use the PRICELINE link on this site. Link to comment
