cpsandiego Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm going to New York City on 7/30-8/1 and would love some advice on a bidding plan for Priceline. We are looking at Midtown Manhattan for convenience, but are willing to look at other areas. We are looking at 4* if possible and a lot of people seem to be getting the Grand Hyatt for about $125. Any suggestions as to starting bids and zones and follow up bidding amounts and zones?Thanks! Link to comment

cpsandiego Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hopefully under $175 - $200. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 NYC is generally pretty slow in the summer, so it's probably a bit early and i wouldn't bid up to your maximum at this point... but i woudl try to pick some low hanging fruit if possible just so you may be able to get this done and taken care of.When bidding 4* in NYC you have two re-bid zones available. 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.. This will probably fail, but i would try the following for starters (and not get discouraged if/when it fails):Select 4* MTE...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $134, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $137, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
