enickle Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Posted August 8, 2012 To confirm, both zones are acceptable and you want to include both in your bidding strategy?Yes, that is correct. Thank you.Do I need to click the links first and then you answer? Sorry, this is my first time!
thereuare Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for all your bidding, searches, and travel purchases (any time you access the respective site and before posting)Although $250 is a 'pretty good' budget, rates are high for these dates and it may be difficult to win in either of these zones, although you may likely be successful if you expand the zones you're willing to accept. To start with your preference of the above two, i'd bid as follows: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* Soho...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 $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $210, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* CPS...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 $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $210, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Soho and CPS...Bid $215, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 add re-bid zone...Bid $240, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $245, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $250Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

enickle Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 I just realized that I never followed up on how we made out.We were NOT successful with our budget amount. So then my husband tried to "freestyle" it and we ended up at the Park Central Hotel for $280 per night. It was a great location, the rooms were of a good size. A little shabby, but all I care about are a clean bathroom and clean sheets. So it worked out for us.Thank you very much for the assistance!
thereuare Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Congratulations on your success! It's not clear from your post, but i assume this was a winning bid on PRICELINE (as opposed to purchasing direct)?Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
