thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Would you consider stay in Jersey City (8 minute train ride to Downtown Manhattan) for the right price?

smfey Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Posted August 8, 2006 We are meeting our friends (party of three) from Moscow over there and we going to reserve a room or suite for them in the same hotel we going to get.So splitting is not an option and we preferred to stay in Manhattan.
thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 So are you bidding for two rooms or are you booking the other room direct with the hotel once you win one? Are your friends staying the same dates as you?I don't see anything in midtown within your budget at the 3* or higher level... $150 is your limit?

smfey Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Posted August 8, 2006 I am bidding for one room. I am booking the other room direct with the hotel once I win one. Our friends staying the same dates as we.We can go a little bit more if it is absolutly nesseery,but $150 is pretty much our limit.
thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 Well you've already bid your limit so there's not much else you can do except:-raise your limit-lower your star rating-add other zones Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
smfey Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Posted August 8, 2006 I am going to lower star rating and raise my bid limit to $175Can you help me with booth strategies?Thanks a lot.
thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 When did you make your last bid (rejected up to $150)... depending upon how long ago this was will affect our suggested starting point and how much we 'jump' between bids at the early levels.
