flyjenn Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I need help with bidding strategy for upcoming trip to NYC from 12/9-12/13. I would prefer under $200 pretax for a room. Preferably 3.5* on up in Madison Square Garden, Midtown West, TS or ESB. I'm also open to other areas that are close to subway i.e. 10 minutes. Formerly lived in NY, so I am comfortable with navigating the city. Not overly concerned about amenities. Thank you Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! As current rates your $200 budget may be a little difficult, but you can try as follows: When bidding 3.5* in NYC you have ONE re-bid zone 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 before proceeding. Select 3.5* MSG... Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 3.5* MTW... Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...

dvmalbany Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Coincidentally, I was bidding same dates for NYC 3.5 Stars but included Soho/Tribeca, Chelsea, & Hells Kitchen in addition to your ESB, MSG, Times Square & MTW.Was unsuccessful until $200 level - accepted for Courtyard Manhattan/SOHO - on Varick St - a block away from the 1 Subway (and a couple block from City Winery, which is a great place to catch some good music & food). My win is posted here Link to comment
