bobme23 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Looking for a hotel room in NYC's Midtown West or Times Square from 5/1 to 5/3. My budget is $160 but can go higher if needed (up to $200). Can you recommend a bidding strategy?

thereuare Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 Unfortunately i don't think you're budget is going to be enough, but if you want to give it a try:At the 4* level in NYC 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* MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, 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 add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, 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 add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW and TS...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 $193, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $198, 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.PS- if the above is rejected, which i think it likely will be, at the moment i'm guessing you're probably looking at $200+ for anything at the 3* and above level. If you're willing to stay outside of the city what i'm guessing is the Hyatt or Westin in Jersey City is available for under $200/nite and both provide easy access to Manhattan via PATH train... just throwing that out there to have you begin thinking of alternate options.
