devo13 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Hi I am new to priceline. I was hoping to get help coming up with a biddging strategy for 9/22 - 9/27/05. We would like to stay in a 3 or 4 star hotel. We would like to pay around 180 a night w/ a max of 200 a night.The thing is we need 2 rooms. Can you book 2 rooms at once?We are open to anywhere really, as long as the neighborhood is decent. Although it would be nice to be around the park.Let me know if you any additional info.Thanks A bunch!
thereuare Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Wecome to BetterBidding!You can book up to four rooms at once, so two is not a problem... just bid them together so that you're sure that you'll end up at the same hotel (will need to put on one credit card and then have the money exchange hands between you and the people in the other room).Only thing i could find (as a back-up) is a new hotel thru EasyClickTravel, Astor on the Park, which i believe is recently renovated although the rooms look pretty small in typical NYC fashion. From your point of view it is right on the park, although a bit north at 103rd Street, but at $179/nite it may serve your purpose (and your budget) if you expect a 'basic' room.Other than that, i would try to beat the above on Priceline. At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones available, at the 3* level you have one... if you're not familiar with re-bidding please read RE-BIDDING EXPLAINED and feel free to ask any questions that you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board.Select 4* MTW...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and MTE...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and MTE and UM/CPS...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195.If the above is rejected and you then want to try for a 3* bid as follows:Select 3* MTW...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTE...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTE and UM/CPS...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW and MTE and UM/CPS...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180Any questions (likely) feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes. If the above fails you may want to consider book the Astor on the Park as an affordable back-up and/or the option of SPLITTING YOUR BID.
