daniscalon Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Hello! My name is Daniela and I'm a completely noob regarding Priceline. Maybe you could help me.I'm going to NYC on May, 4th until May, 12th, and I would like to stay at the following location: MTE and TS in a 4* hotel, maybe a 3,5*.How much should I bid to begin with?Any help from you more experienced bidders will be very appreciated.Thank you very much! Regards,Daniela.
AaronJB Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
daniscalon Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Posted April 18, 2012 Hello Aaron!!!Thanks for helping me!I was thinking something about $200.
thereuare Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 At the moment it doesn't appear that $200 will be enough for a 4* hotel in the TS or MTE for these dates, but if you want to give it a try...At the 4* level you 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.Select 4* MTE...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and TS...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200Any 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.

daniscalon Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Posted April 24, 2012 Hello everyone! :)I have a doubt!If I give a bid on 4-star hotel and it does not work, I go down to the level 3 and a half stars. At this time, can I decrease the amount of my bid and start all over again?Thank you all!
thereuare Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 Yes, you can lower your star rating and lower your bid, but the previously selected zones will be selected and you won't be able to UNcheck them... in order to start over at the 3.5* and only include the zone(s) you want, you'll need to close the current browser, use a link on the board to re-access PRICELINE, then start your 3.5* from the beginning with whichever zone(s) you'd like to bid.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

JJYL Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 It seems that there are a ton of posts regarding NYC travel in May-June.As I am also seeking accommodations in this time frame, if you guys could post your results for both successful and failed bids, it would really be helpful.Thanks in advance!

daniscalon Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 Hello there! Just adding a follow-up: I did give up bidding on Priceline and made a direct reservation at the site of an hotel that I already knew.I got a good price for the dates I was searching.Many thanks for your help.
