sirk696 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 HiComplete newbie to this whole PRICELINE thing, but i'm just planning a trip for my family (my self, wife and at the time of travel 6 month old baby).Going to try and get a decent hotel by going down the PRICELINE route, and read the guides, but just wondered if anyone has any tips one when to start bidding, and is it to early now, and should i wait until nearer the time.Thanks
thereuare Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Welcome ot BetterBidding!If your dates are firm it's never too early to bid... if you make sure you don't overbid. See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.Once you're ready to bid let us know the details of your stay (exact dates, minimum star rating, maximum bid, zones you're willing to accept) and we'll move forward from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

sirk696 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 We are looking to stay around Times Square, but would settle with Central park South, Midtown East or West.We arrive 14th May 2009 for 6 Nights.Looking at a max bid of $200 per night. Might be pushing it at that price but want 4 star.Thanks
thereuare Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I think a 4* for $200 or under may be a bit of a stretch based upon current prices, but to give it a try...At the 4* level you have SIX 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.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 4* TS, MTE, MTW, and CPS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS, MTE, MTW, and CPS and re-bid zone5...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $170, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* TS, MTE, MTW, and CPS and re-bid zone6...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $180, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $195, if rejected add re-bid zone5...Bid $200Any 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.
