jumpseat67 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Would greatly appreciate a bidding plan for a new bidder on PL. First trip to NYC and will be going to the Tigers-Yankees at Yankee Stadium along with other sights in between. Flying into JFK and would like to be near the subway to get around. Dates are set for Apr 30-May 2. A back up plan is already in place and will start bidding immediately using PRICELINE link. Would like not to exceed $200 per night and begin with the 4* level, but would also accept a 3*. Want to exclude Brooklyn and Long Island City. Any direction and help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
thereuare Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Which PRICELINE zones are you willing to accept? Is Downtown also acceptable?Where, and how much, is your back-up hotel?From your comments, I assume that you want to try up to $200/nite for a 4* and then lower to a 3* if that is rejected?Let us know the above and we'll advise accordingly.

jumpseat67 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Posted March 6, 2008 Yes, Downtown is also acceptable. The only exclusions would be Brooklyn and Long Island City. The back up hotel is the Hotel St. James at the rate of $195 + taxes. This property was suggested by co-workers (airline industry) that have been there as being affordable and functional for our purposes. Correct, start with a 4* and then down to a 3* if needed up to $200 night. Thank you again and GO BLUE always!
