teya Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Will be in NYC for 2-3 nights. Will prices be ridiculous over the Holiday? Any thoughts on likely price range or strategy?Thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is actually a little stretch of time that is (at least traditionally) less expensive before prices become extremely expensive for NYE and the day before.What would be your desired budget per night for this stay and which zones exactly would be acceptable?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

teya Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Preference would be either Midtown East or West. Range $150-$200, if feasible. Thanks! Link to comment

teya Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I am ready to start bidding. Planning on only two nights at this point, but will also need one night on the return on 1/6/14. Any help much appreciated. And yes, I always link to PRICELINE via your page! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm assuming two nites are 12/26-12/28?For your stay the nite of 1/6 please start a NEW TOPIC (and don't use the strategy below for that nite as rates will likely be cheaper for that nite)If you include more zones you include your chances of a better deal as it gives more hotels the ability to accept your bid at a lower price. If MTE is the only acceptable zone i would bid as following over the next few days:When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 4* MTE...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and re-bid zone2...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $160If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try:Select 4* MTE...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and re-bid zone2...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $180If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try:Select 4* MTE...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $190, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and re-bid zone2...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $200Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
