jcm Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I need a 3* for 1 night in the LGA area. I will be checking in on August 21, 2005. Can anyone suggest a bidding strategy, on either Hotwire or Priceline? Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Do you have a maximum bid in mind... we wouldn't want to suggest a strategy that went higher than you were willing to bid.

jcm Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks thereuare. I can book the Sheraton LaGuardia for $149, and the Wyndham Gardens for about the same. Either one of these hotels would be acceptable. Do you think I could find anything comparable for less? Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 You should be able to beat that...Hotwire has a 3* hotel for $106 (showing Restaurant and Fitness icons only) which are the amenities that have been associated with both the Crowne Plaza and the Wyndham Garden in the past.If you want to try to beat that rate on Priceline, you have three re-bids available at the 3* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read PRICELINE RE-BIDDING and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board. I would bid as follows:Select 3* LGA...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.
