littlec Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Will be in NYC for a conference (conference hotel sold out weeks ago) June 5-8. Looking for at least 3* in Times Square/Theatre, MTW, MTE, Chelsea. Max budget is $270/night. Not familiar with the city, want to be within walking/short subway ride to Millennium Broadway.Thanks!
thereuare Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!When bidding less than 4* in the MTE some of the 'known' hotels can be quite a bit east and be up to a 15 minute walk from the subway. Let us know if this would be acceptable or not so we know to include/exclude this in a bidding strategy.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

littlec Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Posted June 4, 2012 Ideally, I'd like to be in at least at 3.5* or 4*. A 15 minute walk would be fine, but not preferable.
thereuare Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Rates are extremely high for these dates and i think you'll need to be a little lucky to win anything near your $270 maximum bid in the zones above (given how difficult i think these dates may be, and little time before your stay, i'm going to include MTE in the bidding since you state that it's acceptable)When bidding 4* in NYC you have SEVEN re-bid zones... at the 3.5* level you have SIX 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* TS and MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, 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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and Chelsea...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, 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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS and Chelsea...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and MTW...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and TS...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Chelsea and MTW...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and MTW and Chelsea...Bid $220, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $225, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $230, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $235, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and MTW and TS...Bid $220, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $225, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $230, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $235, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS and MTW and MTE and Chelsea...Bid $240, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $245, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $250, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $255, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $260, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $265, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $270You can start with the above and if rejected close the browser, use a link on the board to re-access PRICELINE, and then try again at the 3.5* level. If that is rejected we'll then revise to try for a 3* OR you can include other nearby zones.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
