Sobotta Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Hi, need help on a bidding strategy.Next trip to the Big Apple: Dec 23rd - 28th / 4.5* hotel / maximum bid: usd 240Priceline areas, in order of preference: 2-CPS, 12-MW, 16-TD, 11-ME, 17-UES, 18-UWS Thanks!
thereuare Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Do you want to bid this now or do you want to wait until your Priceline Airfare is confirmed since, as it appears your dates may be flexible in regards to when you depart St Maarten/arrive NYC, and you may need to adjust your dates a bit to get the bet rate on airfare??Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
