Would you be able to give us a bidding strategy? thanks in advance!
thereuare Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!Did you want to first bid up to your limit for a 4* hotel, then if rejected try for a 3.5*... or is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Also, note that if you're bidding 3.5* or under in the CPS zone that the Hudson Hotel comes into play, which while well located has very small rooms (even by NYC standards... ~140 sq. ft.); is this acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

tinyscrooge123 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 The goal would probably try for 4* first, then if rejected 3.5*and we don't mind the hudson hotelThanks for the help!
thereuare Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Of your zones above, MSG does not have any 4* hotels so we won't include that in any of your bidding.When bidding 4* 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* CA, ESB, MTEBid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, TS, CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, ESB, MTE...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CA, TS, CPS...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CA, TS, MTE...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, ESB, CPS...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CA, ESB, CPS...Bid $163, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $168, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTW, TS, MTE...Bid $163, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $168, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* CPS, CA, ESB, MTE, MTW, TS...Bid $173, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $178, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $183, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $188, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190Any questions feel free to ask.
