feliciash Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 Please help me with a bidding strategy for a 4 1/2 star hotel in NYC any zone for 26Aug-29Aug. I would like to spend no more than $200.00 per night. I also have a question. I've noticed in your strategies that you instruct to close your browser after several failed bids and access Priceline using this site. I don't understand why closing the browser and accessing Priceline here versus their website helps. Just trying to "educate" myself. Thank you.

feliciash Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Posted August 13, 2013 Thank you for your help. I actually looked at some of the strategies you gave others and it clicked. I figured out how to maximize my number of bids. I know that i told you any zone was fine but I REALLY wanted the Benjamin. I started my bid with MTE as my "A" zone at $120.00 and kept adding zones and rebidding until $131 was accepted. It ended up being The Benjamin!! You are a GENIUS. I want to post my win but I cannot remember how. I dont remember what I clicked on.
