los Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I'm looking to bid on a 3* or 4* in NYC and I was wondering where to start the bidding. No Brooklyn, Long Island city, or airports.I appreciate any help.
thereuare Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!Is Downtown acceptable in addition to the midtown zones?What is your maximum bid? Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3* or are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel for the above nite?

los Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Posted April 16, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the response...Either downtown or midtown zones will work. I would pay more for a 4* vs a 3*. My max is $200
thereuare Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 So to confirm... you'll want to first try for a 4* hotel in any zone in Manhattan up to $200/nite? (then if that's rejected try the same for a 3* hotel)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

los Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Posted April 16, 2008 Yes..Is $200 reasonable for a *4 in NYC? If I can't get a *4 then I will bid on a 3*. What do you recommend I start the bidding at for both *'s?
thereuare Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Your budget is usually not enough for NYC this time of year, but given this is a single, Sunday, nite stay, it should be fine.At the 4* level you have four 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 4* MTE and MTW and Times Square...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access thru our link to PRICELINESelect 4* UM-CPS and MTS and Downtown...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access thru our link to PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and UM-CPS and Times Square...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access thru our link to PRICELINESelect 4* MTW and MTS and Downtown...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access thru our link to PRICELINESelect 4* MTE and MTW and Times Square and UM-CPS and MTS and Downtown...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170.If the above is rejected there is a 4* on HOTWIRE in the Times Square zone for $170/nite (best guess would be the Westin) and you can purchase that (a great hotel).Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
