Just wondering if it's better to split days when bidding for a room or is it better to use a longer period. I'll be bidding for up to a month at a time...past bids have not gone through. Also, from the previous posts on here, it appears that bidding last minute is better than bidding in advance...is that true?

Also, is it possible to find a room for $50 (or less - 2.5* or more) on the north shore of Long Island (nassau or very eastern suffolk counties)?

Any assistance would be appreciated....thanks!

You can only bid for stays up to 21 days in length.

I don't believe that to be the case, but for an indepth discussion see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Exactly which zone(s) are you bidding and what are the date(s) of your stay.

I am from another state so my dates will be continuously changing as I travel back and forth. Just wanted to get a general idea of strategies to use.

Thanks for the advice...very helpfu!

My situation changed and I found alternate housing so it was not necessary for me to bid. Thanks for the information!

Almost forgot....

I did bid for a room in Melville back in 8/27/07 - 8/31/07 and got 3* Marriott for $95

I tried to get the Mansion 2.5* for the same time period but was unsucessful. Highest bid for there was $75. I was suprised since I saw so many people get it for $70.
