Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Hilton New York

[TommyL]

Have been trying to nail this for the last couple of weeks....finally successful.

Have been as high as $210, but only rejections.

Now get this:

Today i started with $160 for MTW rejected.

Added UWS $170 rejected.

Added UES $180 rejected.

Closed browser, opened a new one, and changed my dates to 10/2-10/7.

$170 MTW rejected.

Added UWS $180 rejected.

Added UES $190 rejected.

Now I thought that i wasn't going to have any luck today. Since I would prefer to stay in MTW, I thought I'd finish off with a couple of low bids in MTE and UM/CPS, without expecting to get anything.

So I open a new browser, set dates 10/1-10/7.

$145 MTW and MTE rejected.

Added UM/CPS....and lo and behold...bid accepted for the New York Hilton and Towers, in MTW!!!!

Which five minutes earlier rejected my $190 bid!

Goes to show that they change their inventory constantly.....

Hilton quotes $399 on those dates....so I'm extremely pleased with this one!!! :)

Best Regards

Edit: Oh, and it was for 2 rooms....forgot that in the topic header.

We've been seeing this more and more lately, and i'm not convinced as to whether it is a glitch in Priceline system (and the reason for many saying that "priceline is cheating and requiring higher bids from certain users") or if it is indeed a quick change in inventory pricing.

Congratulations on your win and enjoy your time in NYC.

Oh, I see.....yes, thought it was pretty strange.....
