cleanhandsaresexy Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hello from Canada!I am new to Priceline/Betterbidding and I am really impressed with this site- lots of wonderful suggestions! I am going to NYC in early June and I would like some advice re: bidding. First, I want a 4* and I am quite flexible in that any area of Manhattan is acceptable. Is $150/night a reasonable maximum? Where do I start with bidding? Should I start now or wait? Should I break up the stay for better rates? Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!You may ultimately have to split these dates, but i wouldn't do so this early before your stay. It also may take a bit more than your $150 maximum bid, but you can try the following every few weeks for the next couple of months (see if you can 'steal' something):At the 4* level you have 2 re-bid zones available, 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 if you're unsure.Select 4* MTW....Bid $110, 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 $110, 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 $110, 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* MTE 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.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
