You have one re-bid zone available at the 3* level. 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* Jersey City...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $75

If the above is rejected i'd repeat in 24 hours:

Select 3* Jersey City...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $85

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Did as you suggested, through Savingsbarn. All rejected. Will try again in a week as I have some time. Can I do these two steps and if rejected, close browser, select Jersey City, 2-1/2* and bid (hoping to get the Courtyard) ... or will it automatically include the rebid zone (and I risk getting a 2-1/2 in Eliz)?

Thanks much.

You can try again for a 2.5* but you must close your browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. If you simply lowered to 2.5* then it would include Elizabeth, but by shutting the browser you in effect 'wipe the slate clean' and can select whichever zones you want at the new star level.

As a follow-up .... my title should have read 3* Jersey City 7/29 as this is just one night. One night, four rooms. Sorry for the confusion. Do you have any other suggestions considering this clarification?

Rates at the Hyatt are not that high for this date ($169/nite) and Hotwire's price is just below that. I suspect that low priced inventory has not been released yet, and sometimes, even with low rates, the Hyatt does not release inventory at all.

I would stick with this one and book a cancellable back up in the meantime.

The Courtyard is fine... but at that rate i would sooner try for something in Manhattan as i think you may get a comprable rate at a higher quality hotel and actualy be able to stay in the city itself, rather than commute.

What i suggest is to watch hotwire like a hawk until you see the prices drop in Jersey City. I did this for a bid for one night 7/21 as soon as the prices dropped in hotwire, i bid $75 and was awarded the Hyatt.

Like an hour later, the prices went up again on hotwire so i was lucky.

Good Luck,

Raul

I did that through the $130 instruction and will continue to do so. I'd like to ride it out for a little and hope to get lucky at the Hyatt; we'll see. I also see that the hotel I booked for $169 is $149 on Hotels.com. I'll watch that too (and see if I can access it via Savingsbarn).

Okay; thanks. Would your strategy for a 3* in NYC be similar to the 4* above? As I mentioned ... one night, shower and sleep. Not wanting to stay in a dive, but don't need the "Ritz" either. Plz advise.
