James9394 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 Hi, I have replied to the NYC thread and clicked the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links. Thanks for the reminder.
AaronJB Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 The problem is really the 12th and (to a lesser degree) the 13th - the 14th and 15th nights are still expensive, but definitely not as bad. Would you be willing to split your stay? Additionally, what would be your desired max budget per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
James9394 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Posted July 26, 2012 Splitting would be fine. What would be the best split? 12 and then 13-15?Our max per night would be $180/night.Thanks for your help!

James9394 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Posted July 27, 2012 Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately I was not successful and will have to split my bidding. HOTWIRE currently has a hotel for the 12th for $179. I will try 13-16 and if successful, book the single evening through HOTWIRE.
