zr0grvity Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 Hey everyone! I need help on a hotel from 4/14 - 4/17! I tried earlier today and completely screwed up! and now I found this site and read about re-bidding, so hopefully I will have better luck. I was hoping you guys could give me a strategy. MTW, MTE, MTS, UM/UCP are all fine, and I am looking at 3* and 4*. My focus is for a better rate, rather than a better hotel. I am willing to go up to $170/175. ohh, and Downtown isn't out of the picture, but I would prefer the midtown areas. Thanks!

zr0grvity Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 I just selected all the zones I wanted and put in $160 and got nowhere. hahah i know..this is before I found this site. hopefully after the 24 hour lockout period I can start again with an actual plan rather than what i did before.

zr0grvity Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Well, I tried this strategy with no luck. I have a backup hotel, Club Quarters- Downtown, for $179 a night through NYU. I guess I'll try again tomorrow and keep a lookout on Hotwire. Thanks for all your help!
