cassegrain Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 I am looking at a bidding strategy on Priceline for a 3 night stay oct 23-26 in NY.I would liek to find an hotel 4* would be good (willing to go to 3.5* if necessary) in the following zones:-Time Square-Midtown WestMax budget would be around 255$/night all included.Any advise on bidding would be much appreciated, tnaks in advance!
thereuare Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!Your maximum bid comes to about $215/nite which at current rates may be difficult for these dates if only bidding these two zones.To give it a go:When bidding 4* i NYC you have TWO re-bid zones... there are none at the 3.5* level. 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.Select 4* MTW...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* TS...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTW and TS...Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $210, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $215If the above is rejected close your browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* MTW...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* TS...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 3.5* MTW and TS...Bid $180Any 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.

cassegrain Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Just to follow that up. I tried the guideline you gave me but it was unsuccessful. I guess at that time the prices where too high for my bidding.I ended up take a HOTWIRE deal for my NYC trip.
