Noela Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hello,I am planning a trip to NYC/Newark on Sat June 4 - Sun-June 6. I really would love to stay in the 4* Hyatt Regency On The Hudson for one night.What bidding strategy will you suggest to score this one. I know all the ones in the area are free rebid ones, but there are 2 other 4* hotels and I want to weed those out as much as possible. I would appreciate any help to score this one. My max bid should be about $100 (about 60% off listed price of $280)Thanks - Noela Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Good afternoon. :)There is no way to ensure a particular property or increase the odds of a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE - if you bid for a 4* in a particular area, you have to be willing to accept any 4* in the zone. Would you be willing to accept the additional possibilities? Additionally, while $100 is worth trying for these dates, my guess is that it may take as much as $115-130 +/-Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

thereuare Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I agree that your maximum bid will likely need to be a bit more than $100, but if you want to give it a try...At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones. 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 4* Jersey City...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100Any 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.
