BayArea1227 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I got this bid on my 7th try. However, I used the same technique 2 nights in a row. The first night I started quite low from $115 and ended at $140 as my last bid. I first checked the PRICELINE website and saw how much the prices were for the area and star rating for certain hotels. The following is my bidding strategy on the 2nd night. I mainly wanted to stay in the Midtown East, Midtown West or Times Square - Theatre District areas. Started at 3.5* with Midtown East at $135 - Rejected Added Coney Island (Re-Bid Zone) at $138 - Rejected Added Long Island City (Re-Bid Zone) at $141 - Rejected Added Morningside Heights - Harlem (Re-Bid Zone) at $144 - Rejected :( Added Queensborough Bridge (Re-Bid Zone) at $145 - Rejected Added Upper East Side (Re-Bid Zone) at $148 - Rejected Added Midtown West at $150 - Accepted!! :D I used the PRICELINE link provided on top of the BetterBidding Board.The Mansfield HotelMidtown West 12 West 44Th Street New York, NY 10036 Check-In: Sat, Aug 11, 2012 / After 03:00 PMCheck-Out: Thu, Aug 16, 2012 / 12:00 PM Offer Price: Avg. per room, per night $150.00Number of Rooms: 1Room Subtotal: $750.00 Taxes & Fees: $165.75Total Charges: $915.75 I'm quite happy with this BID!
