Neutron3648 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Posted December 19, 2015 I initially bid $110 for 4* in MTE for 12/28-12/30 but was rejected. Added Central Park South and re-bid at $125 but that was rejected too. My plan is to re-bid tomorrow For $135 MTE and then 145 for MTE and CP south. Also used the [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link from here! Any thoughts?
thereuare Posted December 19, 2015 Report Posted December 19, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! You're close to the when the New Year's Eve crowd begins to get into the city so you'll need to bid a bit higher then what may have been accepted 4-5 days earlier in the week. You can do better than your gameplan above, but to confirm... Are MTE and CPS the only two zones that you're willing to accept? NOTE that in the MTE is the One UN which is a bit far east... and in the CPS zone is the Hudson Hotel, which while well located, has notoriously small rooms (even by NYC standards)... are both of these outcomes acceptable? Are other zones, such as MTW, TS, MSG, ESB, and/or Chelsea acceptable? If you confirm all the zones you're willing to accept, and your maximum bid, we will suggest a strategy for you to follow. Thanks for using the board links for your bidding. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and continue to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases (and not the links in any emails that priceline may send letting you know that you're eligible to bid again) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Neutron3648 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Posted December 20, 2015 I can live with the One UN Hotel, but I would like to avoid the Hudson Hotel. I can also live with MTW, TS, ESB, and MSG. Chelsea is a little too south for us. Trying to keep total cost for hotel between $350 and $450.
thereuare Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 So to confirm you're looking to bid MTE, MTW, TS, ESB, and MSG up to $145/nite? If the above is correct you can proceed 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. Select 4* MTE, MTW, TS... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 4* MTE, MTW, ESB... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Select 4* MTE, MTW, TS, ESB, MSG... Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145 I do think the above still may fall a little short, and there is this 4* Chelsea hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $148/nite with Free Internet and Fitness which i think may be the Gem Hotel, should this work for your needs... but you can try the bidding above first and if rejected decide if you want to bid a little higher or take this Chelsea PL express option. Any questions feel free to ask (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're new to the subject and unsure) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Neutron3648 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Posted December 21, 2015 I had bid earlier today at $160 for MTE - Failed. Added TS and upped bid to $165 and failed. Used your re-bid [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link and bid $170. Got the Hilton-Manhatten East. Appears to be convenient to everything we want to see.
thereuare Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you're pleased with the outcome and looking forward to your NYC vist. You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers. Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your stay and have a great time in the city!
