briancl Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi, I've done this once before with Priceline earlier in the year for Chicago and came up empty. For this trip I'd like to book a 4.5* in Soho with a max of $275 per night. My question is to get a refresher on re-bidding. How do I know which zones do not have a 4.5 or above, so I can safely use them to rebid? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Can you please conclude your priceline Chicago thread with whatever you ended up doing for that that trip (even if you didn't use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, booked direct, canceled the trip, etc). Closing your threads helps keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone, as well as being a courtesy to anyone who helped with your stay. After concluding your previous thread reply here and we'll assist with your NYC trip above. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Thanks.

thereuare Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 All set. Thanks.... what hotel did you receive, was it the Park Hyatt? Please confirm by replying to your previous thread and remember to 'close' your topics with your wins/decision as you make them so that the information can help others in a timely manner. How to determine your re-bid zones is outlined here: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained When bidding 4.5* in the NYC region you have NINE re-bid zones, feel free to confirm them with the board before proceeding.

briancl Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 So I just finished the bidding and came up empty. There were 9 zones that were less than 4.5*, so I had 9 rebids. Started at 195 and ended at 285. No dice at 4.5 stars for my dates. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Is $285/nite your limit? PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4.5* hotel in the Soho zone for $305/nite if this is of any interest: Free Internet Pets Allowed Restaurant Business Center Do you want to take this PRICELINE EXPRESS offer, bid a little higher on PRICELINE, consider other zones at the 4.5* level, or lower your star rating for this one zone? Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

briancl Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I see this PRICELINE EXPRESS deal... it actually dropped from 315 to 305 overnight. It looks like the Tribeca Grand hotel. I may also try Midtown East which seems to be a little cheaper for a 4.5*. They have a Priceline.Express for 266 which appears to be Hyatt 48 Lex. I don't know what I'll do yet, but it seems like I have good options. Link to comment

briancl Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Booked Tribeca Grand Hotel for $299 via Priceline bidding. Used the [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link above. PRICELINE EXPRESS deal today was $305 and amenities look like Tribeca Grand, so this was a slight savings beyond that. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
