lency83 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 So I have a bit of an unusual situation. I am going to New York from 7/15 - 7/20. On Sunday, 7/17 I am going to Long Island for a wedding and will be spending the night there. I was able to book the Affinia Manhattan on Priceline for $150 a night for 7/15 - 7/17... but I have had no luck with 7/18 - 7/20. It would be ideal if I could get the Affinia, but I'd be willing to stay in any 3.5* or 4* hotel in TS, MTE, MTW, ESB, MSG... I don't want to go over $150. I also need two rooms. Can you recommend a bidding strategy? Thanks!
thereuare Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 At the 3.5* level you have FOUR 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 3.5* MTE, MTW, MSG...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* TS and ESB...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* TS, MTW, MSG...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* MTE and ESB...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* ESB, MTW, MSG...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* TS and MTE...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* ESB, MTW, MSG and TS...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* ESB, MTW, MSG and MTE...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3.5* TS, MTE, MTW, ESB, MSG...
