thereuare Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Rates are high for these dates, but i would still bid systematically as you did at first... but be careful about getting frustrated and just "adding zones" which you hadn't bid earlier and raising your bid.Not sure if you would consider lowering your star rating or not for a cancellable back-up, but Quikbook has the Pod Hotel for $179/nite. This is NOT a 4* hotel, but it's one of the better budget hotels in NYC and gets very good reviews.Did you want to bid up to your limit at this point in time?

thereuare Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Interpretting the above, am i correct that you only bid up to $140 in the MTW and UM/CPS zones? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
