dvschnk Posted May 31, 2012 Report Posted May 31, 2012 This is my first time trying the bidding strategy from here...I've used priceline before but realized I've been doing it all wrong. I'm going to be in NYC for a night (6/20-6/21) and want to be near central park. I'm looking for a 4* hotel, hopefully under $220. From looking at the priceline map...I think I'm aiming for Central Park South, Midtown West, Midtown East, UWS, Time Square. I think I've found the seven rebidding zones and am trying to plan out my bidding strategy. I also would like to know for NYC, is there any areas with a potential resort that would screw up the bidding? I don't see it, but I figured I ask just to be certain. Any help on the bidding strategy would be greatly appreciated. You guys have a wonderful forum here. Thanks
thereuare Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding! (and thanks for the compliments on the board :) )You're correct... at the 4* level you have SEVEN re-bid zones (but always double check just before bidding and/or confirm the actual zones with the board if you'd like)Using your preferred zones above, and your re-bid zones, i'd bid as follows:Select 4* MTW, MTE, UWS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS and TS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, MTE, UWS, TS...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 add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, MTE, UWS, CPS...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 add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS, MTW, MTE, UWS, TS...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 $200, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $215, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $220Any questions feel free to ask.If the above is rejected you can choose to wait it out and try again in the weeks ahead, but i'll also add that what appears to be the Kitano is available thru HOTWIRE for $217/nite and generally gets very good reviews.Good luck and let us know how it goes. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
