wmo73 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 Hi I need suggestions for 4* Midtown South Area or near 5th avenue for Christmas weekend Dic24-Dic26? Budget 150 max 200 being the price/star more important than location for us. We don't know the NYC area, any info on restaurants or pubs also greatly appreciated! Thanks
thereuare Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 The midtown zones (MTE, MTW, UM/CPS) will likely be much cheaper than the MTS zone... since price and star rating is most important to you, i'm assuming you're fine accepting any of the four midtown zones?If so, you have two re-bid zones at the 4* level and this is how i would proceed (if you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding)Select 4* MTS...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, 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 $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS and UM/CPS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150.I'll stop with the above as i think you have a good chance of success, but if not, post back and i'll continue the strategy.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

wmo73 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Posted December 11, 2005 Yes, I am fine accepting any of the four midtown zones. Thanks for the tip on prices. Are the Upper East Side and Upper West Side the 2 free bid zones for 4*, am I correct?
