djm277 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Attempted to bid on 5/30. First bid of $200 was rejected. Increased bid to $205, also rejected. Priceline newbie, unsure of how to best proceed. Hoping for Tribeca Grand, as I noticed another priceline bidder won that hotel for $200 for the same dates as mine. But would consider adding other zones in order to guarantee a win. Willing to stay anywhere but Times Square. Lived in NY for 4 yrs, so I'm familiar with the city and most hotels. Any help is much appreciated!
