thereuare Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 At the 3* level you have three re-bid zones available. 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 3* MTE and MTW and Times Square...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* UM-CPS and MTS...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* MTE and UM-CPS and Times Square...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* MTW and MTS...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* MTW and UM-CPS and Times Square...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* MTE and MTS...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-acces PRICELINE.Select 3* MTE and MTW and UM-CPS and Times Square and MTS...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $200.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.If the above fails i would book the Gild Hotel thru Quikbook (please use this previous link) for $209/nite. It's downtown and the hotel is going thru a soft opening (so no restaurant, room service, and a few other amenties), but the reviews so far have been great. Most importantly, it's cancellable, so you can know you'll have a reasonable roof over your head at a very nice hotel, and you can continue to try PRICELINE in hopes of beating this back-up.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

ss233 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Posted April 6, 2008 Bid 190$, but priceline asked me to increase the price by 25$. Did that and got the Millennium Un Plaza Hotel New York 215$I used the PRICELINE links from this board !!Thanks.
thereuare Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 Congratulations on your win!Glad to hear you were successful and hopefully you're happy with the results. This hotel gets good reviews, but is a bit far easth, although walking to the subway in mid-May shouldn't be a problem.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
