citylover Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I meant to say plan to trygetting something on Priceline. Can you plse suggest bidding strategythanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Times Square is not a Priceline zone (it is part of the MTW zone)... did you mean UM/CPS or did you only want to bid the MTE and MTW zones?I haven't looked at hotel-dirate rates for this stay but if Hotwire prices are over $250 i would think it very unlikely that you'll find success at $120 or less.Do you have a back-up reservation? Would you SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
citylover Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Thereuare- I made a mistake sorry. Only need the room June 11th -14th (I will be travelling June 9th but going upstate).To answer your questions: Sorry my mistake also here with I have a Hotwire vocabulary but thinking Priceline. I do want MTE and MTW.No I have no backup reservations at all. Would love to get the Grand Hyatt because the last time I was there I was made to wait for my room longer than anyone else as a "Priceline customer" and I complained, and management has told me the next time I book there to contact them directly when I arrive so they can make amends for that situation. So maybe I will be afforded a bit a luxury :) at a Priceline price.Would prefer not to split. Link to comment

If you want to give it a try, you have two re-bid zone at the 4* level.Select 4* MTE...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120.

citylover Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 before I try, From your experince Thereuare what do you think would be the best rate I could get? Would $150 be reasonable or am I really looking at $200 or more? Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I didn't check all possible hotels but a quick look at 2-3 of them i'm guessing your looking at closer to $200 than you are $150.However, if SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID is an option you can almost certainly get a hotel for the first nite of your stay at under $150.
