sierra Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Posted September 24, 2013 I have clicked on linksI am now looking at also oct 12-15 airfare may be less then either way what would the bidding strategy be?
thereuare Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Just as the price of your airfare can differ from one set of dates to the next, so can hotel rates, and any suggested strategy may differ depending upon your rates for your dates. As well, you can't start bidding until your dates are firm, and rates (and therefore any suggested strategy) could differ between now and the time you are ready to bid.Please confirm your dates of travel and then reply to this thread, we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow at that time.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

sierra Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Ok I have booked airfare for oct 19 to oct 21 I would like to start bidding today. Can you advise me on the above areas

sierra Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 I have clicked the links Thank youI see that HOTWIRE has a 4* in chelsea for 196 Do u think I can do better on PRICELINE or should I just take this?
thereuare Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Are the amenities of the 4* Chelsea property:Pet Friendly Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower If so my guess here would be the Doubletree Chelsea.If you're flexible on which zones/hotel you received why not try bidding on PRICELINE up to this price, then if rejected, take this HOTWIRE offer... or if you want to try to target this property then take this offer as-is.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
sierra Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Yes that is correct for above amenities, what should I bid on PRICELINE to try for a better deal?
thereuare Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Which zones are you willing to accept? Given the 'known' (assuming our guess is correct) Doubletree at $196... how high are you willing to bid for an 'unknown' 4* hotel in the zone(s) that you bid?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

sierra Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 I would like to bid in chelsea or empire state area up to $195
