Priceline Hotel: Adding additional nights to Priceline

[suitcasefull]

I am a newbie and read that you can bid one night on Priceline and if you win add additional nights. Is that correct? I am going to NYC in Nov. and want to be near a subway.

Almost correct.

You can only add up to as many nights as you originally bid. Bid one - add one. Bid 4 - add 4. And also Bid 4 - add 1 or 2 or 3.

You can only add on one side - just before or just after the original bid nights.

The add-on feature isn't always offered. And even when it is, sometimes the added night can be at a higher rate.

You also pay an additional basic Priceline fee for the new night(s).

Still, the feature can be very useful when your plans change.

Sometimes people use it to take a peek at what they might get, and if they like it they add on more of the same.

Regarding your NYC trip, most of the areas are near subways. One is occasionally mentioned as not. I think it is the one with the United Nations buildings in it. You will find lots more discussion in the New York area.

I heard that you could bid one night and then add additional nights on Priceline if you won. Is that correct? I will be in NYC Nov. 6-10 and want to spend about $150. I am more worried about how close I am to the subway than how nice the hotel is. Any suggestions for areas?

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Which zones would you be interested in bidding for? Is your budget $150 + taxes/fees per night, or $150 "all-in" (with taxes/fees included)?

There is no way to guarantee a hotel near the subway, although one particular zone/star rating combination where properties may be further away from the subway is 3.5* MTE.
