blindman Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Welcome to Betterbidding.Im not sure if im better off booking a cancelable backup and trying Priceline in another 2-3 weeksAlways a good idea to book a cancellable backup :) Is $165 your maximum ?Are MTE and MTW your only zones in which you wish to stay?Would you consider SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID Thereuare will be along to give his advise shortly I'm sure.
bundaburg Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for your quick response.My upper limit would be about $180.Not necessarily only MTE and MTW, but there are some nice hotels there that i'd like a go at. If im unable to get something around this price, i'm very keen on the Hyatt New Jersey as the position is great.I have considered breaking up the bids.Thanks
bundaburg Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 Ended up splitting the bid - from 7/3 - 7/6 and got the following deal:Hotel Name: New York Hilton And Towers Price $130 per nightA saving of nearly 50% on the rack rate of $239 for same dates. Very happy.Thanks
