unclefeather Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Please help, I'm trying to get a 4 star in TImes Square/Theater District or Midtown East for check-in on August 26 and check-out on August 29 for about $150 per night. Can you please help me with bidding strategies?
thereuare Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 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* MTE...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and TS...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 add re-bid zone...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 $150Any 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.

unclefeather Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Posted August 19, 2012 I really appreciate the help.. tried the strategy but it didn't work... went up to $165 with no luck. Any tips?
AaronJB Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 There is a 4* on HOTWIRE in MTE with only restaurant as the amenity for $160; this listing hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board and with only restaurant as the amenity, it's difficult to begin to narrow down which hotel this could be.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 I'm currently seeing what i believe to be the Helmsley New York for $178/nite.. How high are you willing to bid for a 4* hotel in these two zones... OR are you willing to include other nearby zones in your bidding? (although not sure how much it will help as MTE is often one of the lesser priced zones at the 4* level)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
