Priceline Hotel: bidding help ny midtown

[flokwar]

hello!

I'm new at bidding on hotels and would like some help. Arriving NY 19/08 (not flexible) en leaving 22/08. Would like to stay in midtown, close to all touristic things :)

Need a room for two persons and don't want to pay to much for a save and nice hotel.

Should I go for 3 stars and could 110 dollar be accepted? :)

Any help for a strategie would be very nice.

it's going to be my first time in NY and go and visit my sister afterwards. She's living in Kentucky since march of this year so I also have to rent a car when I leave NY to go there. Maybe I can get help for bidding on cars aswell? I hope some so.....

Exactly which zones (by Priceline name) are you willing to bid? (MTE, MTW, UM/CPS, MTS?)

$110 is usually not enough for a 3* hotel in NYC, but we can suggest a strategy to try anyway. It is summer which is one of the slower periods in NYC so you may get lucky, but i would start thinking about your maximum bid and/or an alternate plan if not successful.

Do note that any strategy we suggest will 'probe' lower than your maximum bid first, so if your maximum bid is higher than $110 you should let us know what that figure is.

Let us know the info regarding the zones above and we'll suggest a strategy accordingly.

Ow btw, I'm from Holland. Is it even possible to bid if you're not from the USA or Canada? :)

[edit] I haven't been using forums for a while. I've found the answer in another thread [/edit]
