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

[traveller98]

I tried bidding 9/27 to 9/28 right after winning my bid for the Waldorf Astoria for $150 from 9/28 - 10/1 yesterday. I tried bidding up to $165 but did not win.

I tried again today in for a 4* hotel in zone MTE starting at $140.

Was asked to raise my bid to $169 without changing any criteria, but rejected it.

Instead I added a free re-bidding zone and tried at $145 - got rejected.

Added another free re-bidding zone and tried at $147 and got accepted at the Waldorf again :) Saved 61% off the price.

I've read reviews that they're doing some renovations in the lobby, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with winning my bids at such a good rate.
