southwickhull Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I'm coming into NYC on Friday, Feb 11 for two nights for a concert at Carnegie. Would like to get 4* in CPS if possible to be near the venue. Bid today CPS at $100 was rejected but asked to offer $130 to be accepted. Would it be better to accept the $130 offer or rebid tomorrow at $105? Or maybe rebid tonight at $105 adding Morningside Heights or Queensboro Bridge where the highest *,level is 3?
thereuare Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 When bidding 4* in NYC you actually have SEVEN 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.I would proceed as follows:Select 4* CPS...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... (already bid within the last 24 hours)Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135Any 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.

southwickhull Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 So - IBid 105 added Queensboro - was asked to offer $129. Instead,Bid 110 added Madison, rejectedBid 115 added Upper East, was accepted atRenaissance Hotel 57.Thanks for your help!
southwickhull Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Using rebidding technique of adding zones that don't offer a 4 star.
thereuare Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Congratulations on your success! This is notoriously a very expensive zone at the 4* level, glad to see you were able to get a nice deal in the zone you wanted and are pleased with the results.Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
