cmboy Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Hello, I looking to try for the first time to book with priceline, I want to book one night in Manhattan, I'm a tourist so i think that all the ares below central park can be good to me.My budget is 150-200$, and I'm looking for the best star rate I can get with it. Can you help me with bidding strategy ? Thanks in advance for the help.p.s after i will finish my first bidding i will try a new on for the 12-14/10
thereuare Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 ...i think that all the ares below central park can be good to me. Welcome to BetterBidding! To avoid any confusion please list the zones, my PRICELINE name, that you're willing to accept and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow. NOTE for the following zones: CPS - has the Hudson Hotel with notoriously small rooms MTE - most hotels are well located, but there are a few which can be up to a 10-15 minute walk to the subway Downtown - a bit less convenient than midtown properties, but certainly do-able for the right price Let us know the zone(s) you're willing to accept and we'll take it from there. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

cmboy Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Posted September 7, 2014 I Read the link and I'm sorry but as i stated i new in the area, I don't understand what is my re-bid zone in every step (zones from my selection or other that we know there isn't 4 stars hotel there - what are the name of the zones ?), another thing is that you stated that in 4 stars there are 2 re-bids but in the example that you provided (as i understand it) I see only one rebid at a time. thanks for all the help,
cmboy Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Posted September 7, 2014 Not 4 star hotel for me this time , here is the progress (tomorrow will go for the 3.5 stars)
cmboy Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Posted September 7, 2014 I Tried the same for 3.5 till 200 and got nothing, i try for 201$ and got it !!! (
