alekea Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Using the PRICELINE links, I've been trying various times to get a hotel stay for 10/12-10/15. A couple of weeks ago I started at $140 a night. lol This is what finally worked:Select 4* CHELSEA, MIDTOWN WEST, SOHO...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $210, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Hells Kitchen, Times Square, Chelsea ...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone... ***somewhere in here, Priceline requested that I up my bid by $52. I declined. I think I had to close out my browser b/c I couldn't go back.Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone...

My backup reservation was considered a 3*, was on Lexington, went for higher and is quite far from where I wanted to be. For the nights I reserved, the Shoreham goes for $255 even with AAA. So I didn't save as much as I wanted, but everything helps.
