cleanhandsaresexy Posted December 15, 2005 Report 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!
thereuare Posted December 15, 2005 Report 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.
