Priceline Hotel: 4* New York City (Midtown East) Marriott New York East Side

[Doraemon]

Bid made on May 4, 2014.

 

Bid History:

4* Midtown East - $121

4* Midtown East, Midtown West - $131

 

Strategy:

The hotel inventory for Name Your Own Price and Express is not necessarily the same, but it is what I used to price my bids. I check the site every few hours to look for fluctuation in prices.  It can happen at any time but 3 PM to 4 PM EST seems to be when the prices were lowered (inventory was released).

 

Here is the history of the average lowest price for 4* Midtown East express deal:

May 3: $233

May 4: $233

May 5: $233

May 6: $219

May 7: $232

 

On May 4 at around 3 PM, the express deal price dropped to $157. After I won my bid using Name Your Own Price for a room, the express price went back up to $233.

Wow, that would've saved me a lot of time. Thanks!

 

On another note (since I can't edit the original post anymore), all the dollar figures in my post are in Canadian Dollars. So $131 CAD is roughly $120 USD.

Also another note, I called the hotel to set the room preference and they already had me booked for a 2-bed room.
