Priceline Hotel: 4* New York City (Midtown East) The Waldorf-Astoria

[jaysenese]

I think there's good information for bidders in what is NOT working.

I tried every combination for a 4* Manhattan hotel September 27 - October 3 this morning (used the PRICELINE link).

No luck up to $205.

I'll try again in a week.

At the moment i think you'll need to be closer to $300 than to $200 for a 4* hotel for these dates... how high are you willing to bid for a 4* property before considering lowering your star rating? (or SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID)

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

While it's important to post failed bids, it's just as imporant to post your wins. ;)

As you've now apparently SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID:

Anyway, I bid up to $180 for 5 nights 9-28 to 10-03 without luck (I removed the evening of 9/27 because the website shows a much higher price and I guess that's not part of the 'sale'. I started shortening the trip and I was able to buy 9-28 to 10-01 (3 nights) for $180 / night.

...we're going to use this thread to reflect your win for 9/28-10/1, please start a NEW TOPIC for the balance of your stay.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.
