joey Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi this is my first post so I hope I've made this clear and easyCan I have some advice please on what what price I should begin my bidding at for a 3* for November 17-20th ? Zones we are looking at are: MTW, MTS, Any help is greatly appreciatedJo Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 What is your maximum bid?Is the a reason you're avoiding MTE and/or UM/CPS zone(s)? These two zones are bid more often than MTS, although many bid all four as NYC is very convenient and accessible by mass transit... more zones gives you more bidding opportunities as well as more hotels able to accept your bid.Let us know answers to the above and we'll be in a better position to suggest a strategy for you to follow.

elvis Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 $189 TZ4Q Promotion at "The Mansfield" on your dates. A boutique hotel in central Manhattan. I saw this on Travelzoo. Hope this helps. Link to comment
joey Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Himaximum bid would be $230 USD a night- pls let me know if this is too lowwould also consider MTEI know that public transport is very accesible but we would like to stay around the MTE, MTW, MTS due to mobility issues regardsJo Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 One last question before suggesting a strategy...Have you looked closely at the priceline zones? UM/CPS is just as, if not more so, convenient than MTS (imo). You know your plans/needs better than i do so only you can decide if which zones are best for you, but for most the two zones are equally 'convenient'... just want to make sure we're able to maximize your bidding opportunities as well as help you get the best deal possible.Let us know and we'll get right into it :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

joey Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi,I completed my 1st bid for 3* $120 MTW which was rejectednow I'm about to complete the add re-bid zone but i'm a little confusedi can't seem to be able to see the star rating for an area? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 From Priceline Re-Bidding Explained:The way to check what star levels are available in each zone is to open a Priceline page, check ONLY the zone you are inquiring about, and then proceed to the next page (as if you were going to select a zone)... this will give you the available star ratings in that area. You can then hit BACK on your browser, uncheck the current box, check the next box, and repeat the process. It is important to do this before EACH attempt at adding a zone that you really don't want, as new hotels can be added and the star ratings can change at any time.Pleasea read thru the above and if you aren't able to figure it out let us know and we'll break it down further step-by-step.If you're new to the concept of re-bidding, it is highly recommened you confirm your re-bid zone with the board before bidding again.
