thereuare Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 I am not looking to pay more than $130 a night. I know its difficult given the time of the year but Its been done before.Welcome to BetterBidding! While we have seen wins for 4* hotels at $130 or less, this is not typical in recent years (3-5 years ago it was the norm, but with the hotel industry rebounding along with the economy, such a deal has bee far more elusive), and when it has been seen, it's usually just for a solo Sunday nite (the slowest day of the week for NYC hotels) or for weekend-only dates... not the full week you are seeking. If you want to give it a try you can do so as follows: When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones. 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 proceeding.
