thereuare Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.This is an expensive time of year in NYC and i'm doubtful that SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID will necessarily help as currently i'm seeing high rates throughout your date range... usually splitting the stay is beneficial if you have some dates which are lower/higher in price than other dates of your stay.To get started, please let us know which zones, by PRICELINE name, are acceptable (as 'Midtown' can be Midtown East, Midtown West, and/or include other zones that are considered to be 'midtown' even though not necessarily using this word in their name (ie- Times Square)) and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Although i don't think you have much of a chance until you get close to the $200 mark, with time on your side i would still start by bidding low and try this over two days as follows: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.Select 4* MTE...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Chelsea...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE and Chelsea...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE, MTW, Chelsea...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $163, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and re-try, once again starting with the PRICELINE link on the board (and not any links PRICELINE may send informing you that you're eligible to bid again):Select 4* MTE...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTW...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* Chelsea...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $193, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE and Chelsea...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $193, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select 4* MTE, MTW, Chelsea...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $198, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200Any questions feel free to ask.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
