finnbarrMiR Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Hi, myself and my girlfriend are looking for a Hotel in NYC in either UM-CPS, MTW, MTE, MTS or somewhere near to the main tourist attractions and subway. We've not used Priceline before and we're looking for advice or a bidding strategy for a 3 or 4* hotel. We will be staying from the 13th of Dec. to the 18th. Is it more likely to find better deals closer to the time we go and is worth repeating bidding strategies every 72 hours? I would say our maximum bid would be $200,Cheers,Finnbarr
thereuare Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!What is more important, price or star rating? (ie- would you want to try your maximum bid at a 4* before trying for a 3*, or would you prefer a lower priced 3* to a higher priced 4*) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
finnbarrMiR Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks for the response. We reckon we would prefer a lower priced 3*.
