eghudak Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 This is my first try at Priceline and I've been reading your boards and found them very helpful.My first bid was $108 4* MTE - rejectedBid $115 4* MTE and MTW - rejectedBid $120 4* MTE, MTW and UES - rejectedClosed browser and tried againBid $125 4* MTE, MTW, UES and UWS - rejectedI'd really prefer to stay at the Grand Hyatt, but can't bring myself to pay the $329/night listed rate. I will be in NYC from 2/8/07 until 2/13/07 and staying with a group package deal at the Grand Hyatt, but I'm staying one night more than most of my group.Should I wait a day or 2 and try again?
