Priceline Hotel: First Timer - NYC - 10/13-10/15? Please help.

[dulbie17]

Just found this website tonight after my first priceline attempt. Tried to get a 4* in MTE/MTW/TS and went from 130-180 with no luck. Read about the free re-bids beforehand so I did some of those. Not sure if I can get any suggestions or help, will have to wait 24 hours at this point to re-bid and will use the links in all of these replies. Thank you SO much in advance for any help.

Also, I booked a back up hotel with a 24 hour notice cancellation policy just in case.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you haven't yet please start by reading your messages.

Are the three zones you're bidding the only three acceptable? At the 4* level ESB and/or CPS are usual convenient for the average user as well.

Based upon current rates best guess is that you're likely looking in the $200-$220 range for a 4* hotel (maybe even $10 more)... what is your maximum bid for this trip? Are any of the other zones above (or any others) acceptable as well?

Where and how much is your back-up reservation?

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

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.
