frenchfrost Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 I'm looking to bid on two rooms in NYC for 5/15--5/17 and three rooms for 5/17-5/19. Would like 4* hotel in either Chelsea area, Empire State Building zone, or Midtown East (or maybe West). Max budget per night per room $200 including tax. After doing some research on the site, my strategy will be to start bid at around $110 and then add zones at don't have 4* hotels (Coney Island, Lower East Side, Long Island City, Morningside, Queensborough, and Upper East Side?) and rebid again. Does this sound right? Should I include all the zones I prefer in my initial bid or should I add them on as I rebid? I appreciate any assistance!
thereuare Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!As this will be two separate purchases/stays, we will use this thread for your first stay of 5/15-5/17, please start a NEW TOPIC for the 5/17-5/19 leg of your trip.Yes, you have your re-bid zones correct, but always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changes since you last checked.Let us know which zones are acceptable and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.NOTE that your $200 all-in rate equates to about a $170 maximum bid price, which for this time of year is hardly a sure thing at the 4 star level, but we'll start there and see how it goes.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
