mdk Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I will be in NYC from 4/20-4/23 and need help with a bidding strategy for a 3 night hotel stay. I would prefer the Midtown area but am on a somewhat limited budget and would like to pay 150/night maximum. I would prefer 3 star. What stragety can you suggest for price line and what timeline should I use to bid?
thereuare Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Is $150 your maximum bid amount or are is that after taxes and fees?Exactly which Priceline zones are you willing to bid... MTE, MTW, UM/CPS? What about MTS? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mdk Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 Preferably the total amount but I could do up to 150 plus taxes and fees if absolutely necessary. We could stay in any of the areas you mentioned as we will just be doing the usual touristy things Broadway shows etc
thereuare Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 I think this is going to be a touch win based upon your limit. To give it a try this what i would do:At the 3* level 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* UM/CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS and MTE...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTE...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* MTS and MTW...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTW and MTS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 3* UM/CPS and MTW and MTE...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTW and MTE adn MTS...Bid $150.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
