mhood Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 ***Sorry - previously posted this into Hotwire forum accidentally*** Hi, I have had a browse around your forums and hope you, or somone can help.There will be 4 adults travelling to NYC on the 29th December 07 from the UK for a 4 night stay, departing on the 2nd January.We require two seperate rooms, one for each couple, in a 4-star hotel. Using Priceline's map, we would like to stay in the following areas with MTW being our preferred choice:MTWMTEMTSUMTPriceline.com shows a median price of $400+ for 4-star hotels on the above dates. We would like to pay up to a maximum of $200 per room per night inclusive of all charges. Does this sound like a reasonable expectation?Can you suggest a strategy.Thanks in advance,Martin
thereuare Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I doubt your budget will be enough for these dates, but you can try as follows. As all maximum budgets on the board should be in bid amounts (as we don't konw offhand the tax and fee rate for every zone), and since i doubt $200 'all-in' will be enough, i've gone as high as a $210 bid below, but you can stop at whatever point you'd like.At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones. 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.Select 4* MTW...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and UM/CPS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW and MTS...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTS...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS and MTW...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and UM/CPS...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and MTS...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS and UM/CPS and MTE...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS and UM/CPS and MTW...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and UM/CPS and MTS...Bid $200, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $205, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $210.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

mhood Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Posted September 9, 2007 You were right about the budget - nothing for $300 in the 4 areas I suggested.Not to worry though.Thanks.
