Dani_M89 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Hi,I'm looking for a 4* hotel room for 2 ppl for a stay in New York between 7 sept and 12th sept. The locations I would most prefer are CPS, Chelsea, ESB, HK, LES, Midtown E, Midtown W, Madison Square and times square. What would you recommend would be the best strategy? Max bid price would probably be $200. If these areas can't be secured for that price then I would also include Soho and the Financial district. Thanks

Dani_M89 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Posted June 24, 2013 To Confirm the two re-bid zones for 4* are long island and Morningside heights by reading through the re-bidding post and using the priceline map So the strategy would be for example: Select 4* CPS, Chelsea, ESB, HK, LES..Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... e.g. Long Island so I can bid again..Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...e.g. Morningside HeightsBid $135, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...correct? thanks heaps for you help!!
thereuare Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 Assuming you mean Long Island City, then yes, you have your two re-bid zones correct, but you should always double check just before bidding to make sure that nothing has changed since you last looked.HOWEVER, you shouldn't be using any maps to determine your re-bid zones, all the information is on the page you use when you submit a bid. If you are using a map to help with your re-bid zones then this is NOT correct and you can use the following to break down the correct process a bit:1) Use the PRICELINE search box on the upper right of this page, enter 'New York City, NY' and your dates, and click "GO".2) List each zone that is offered in this region. 3) Next to each zone list the highest star rating offered in the zone. The way to determine the highest star rating offered in the zone is by selecting the first zone i the list, then scrolling down to see the highest star rating selectable (ie- not greyed out). NEXT UNcheck the selected zone, place a checkmark in the next zone, and repeat the process for each zone in the region. Each time you take note of the highest star rating in the zone, make sure that only ONE zone is selected above.4) post your findings and we'll take it from thereIf you don't follow the above just post back and we'll break it down further.Any questions let us know.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
