x0jessi0x Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Flying up for Giants game on 11/2-11/5. Not too picky about location (no outer boroughs, please). Downtown, Uptown, Midtown, East or West, all are okay by me. Just hoping for 4*+ (will go to 3.5) and would really like to keep it at or below $2--. I've gotten lucky on a few times with great rates LES for 4*.Here's hoping!
thereuare Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding!I've gotten lucky on a few times with great rates LES for 4*.Assuming you're referring to PRICELINE or HOTWIRE wins, it would be appreciated if you started to share your wins with the board so that the information can help others....would really like to keep it at or below $2--. Does this mean below $200 or below $299?Let us know the information above and we'll have a closer look at what is available for your dates.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

x0jessi0x Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 I was referring to Priceline and before I was a member of this board. ANYTHING less than $300 is an improvement from what is offered directly from hotels for these dates. Obviously $200 is nicer than $299, but I'm not going to throw a fit if it means I land a clean place to sleep for those 3 nights. WIth the marathon happening, I'm trying to remain realistic yet and hopeful. Thanks.
