clark446 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Looking for help bidding on the following through Priceline:Dates: 1/17 – 1/21Preferable Locations: Midtown East, Midtown West, Central Park South, Empire State. I am open to other locations if you have suggestions.Based on my research I would like to spend less than $140/night for a 4* Hotel (before tax). I am not opposed to splitting up the hotel stay but it is not preferred at this point. Suggestions of where to start?
thereuare Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding!When bidding 4* in NYC you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* MTE, MTW, CPS and ESB (and TS if you wish to include this in your bidding as well)...Bid $90, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $103, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $108, if rjeected add re-bid zone...Bid $110If the above is rejected, HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the ESB zone at $113/nite with: Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Free InternetThis matches previous reports for the St Giles The Court so that would be my best guess for this one, and i would take this HOTWIRE offer if the up to $110 biding above is rejected. This property used to be the W The Court and has not been seen as a win thru PRICELINE since they changed ownership (maybe 2+ years ago??)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.
