Priceline Hotel: 4* NYC (MTW) Sofitel

[snlevans]

Hi,

I have been trying for weeks to get a hotel in NYC for my Mom and her sister (their 1st time to visit). I started my bids around 140 and have been working my way up to about 180. I have been doing this for a few weeks now.......it's kind of wearing me down.

Wellllll......tonight I bid up to 201.....then 207 and then it gave me a counter offer to add 25.00 (to make it 232.00/night).....I wanted to stay around 200 but thought what the heck.....I will pay the difference for them.....I really wanted them to stay in a four star for their 1st trip......I've read a few reviews on this hotel and it seems to be really nice. (Sofitel New York)

I am happy with my final bid. Many thanks to Thereuare.....you do a great job for this board!!

Thanks betterbidding!........all done through savingsbarn.com........Lea :)

I don't know how many free rebids you had left but you can always beat PLs counteroffer.

Congratulatons on your success!

The Sofitel is a very nice hotel and i'm sure they'll be quite happy there.

Thank you for sharing the results with the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to start your bidding.

Hope your mom and sister enjoy the Big Apple :)

Hi,

I tried to counter-offer at 210 and a red message came up at the top.....I was not sure what to do next (I think you open the internet again and try to up the bid a few dollars again???).....it would not let me move on....I will research it and try that next time.....if it had been a bid for me (and not my Mom).....I would have tried it out. I didn't want to lose a maybe in the works.......I'm pretty new to this process......

I really think if I waited maybe a week or week and a half that a lower bid would have been accepted.....

Thanks Thereuare......you are such a great help!! Lea from TX

Thanks betterbidding!
