sc14 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Hello all,Me and the girlfriend are heading to lovely NYC 4th June 2014 - 10th June 2014 (6 nights) and we're looking for basically the lowest price possible on a 4* double room from priceline! Acceptable zones are: ideally: times square/theatre district, midtown east, midtown westbut if the price difference is large then second choices are: madison square garden and empire state building area (areas close to our ideal zones)Not sure exactly what average winning bids are for this kind of year, but the cheaper the better really!We would much appreciate any and all help anyone can give on the bidding strategy to use, for example price and zones at each stage. Thank you so much for your help in advance!
AaronJB Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Unfortunately, rates are on the high side during this period, given nicer weather. Additionally, there is no way to guarantee a particular bed type when bidding.To help us suggest a strategy, what would be the max you would want to bid per night?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
sc14 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Posted February 12, 2014 Hi and thanks for the quick reply!I'd say my max is $160ish a night, but i'd prefer to start much lower and work my way up; obviously the cheaper the better!thanks so much!
thereuare Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 At current rates i think it will move likely take in the $165-$190 area to be successful for a 4* for these dates in one of your acceptable zones, but we can give it a try with a $160 maximum bid and take it from there...When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones.
