OSUBUCKEYES Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knew of any rates for NYC hotels for the nights of 2/10 and 2/11 or 2/12 and 2/13. I really dont care where in Manhattan we stay but would prefer something 3* or higher. If anyone is aware of any rates please advise me what they may be. Also if it is too early to get the best rate I do not mind waiting. Thanks for your help all.
thereuare Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!What will determine the dates of your stay? (these are each two nite stays, correct?) I have a general idea of what this will likely cost but once you decide your actual dates let us know your maximum bid we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

OSUBUCKEYES Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 Thanks for your prompt response. I am going to go to Washington DC for the two days that I dont stay in NYC so to be honest its really irrelevant whether the two nights are 2/10-2/11 or 2/12-2/13. The two nights that I dont stay in NYC we will just go to Washington. At this point Id like to keep the bidding around $150 a night if its possible. I dont mind bidding higher if necessary but was thinking that we have enough time that we wouldnt have to bid much higher yet. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks for your help.Yes, either stay will be for two nights and since it really doesnt matter which nights whenever we can get a better deal on a hotel we will just stay in New York. Thanks again
thereuare Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I think you can likely get a 4* hotel well within your budget. As there is often only a small price difference between 3* and 4* hotels, i'm assuming you'd prefer to pay a little more for the higher quality property. If not post back and i'll adjust the strategy below.When bidding 4* in NYC you have two re-bid zones avaiable. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask any questions that you may have.This is how i would bid...Select 4* MTW...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140.I don't think i would bid more than $140 for these dates at this point.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

OSUBUCKEYES Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply I just wanted to let you know that I was unsuccessful using the strategy. I did use the savings barn link to bid and am going to keep using the strategy that you outlined because time permits. Thanks for your help and I will let you know if I get anything.
