Priceline Hotel: Seacaucus-North Bergen

[nichan]

Looking to get the Hyatt in Jersey City and with Pricelines new listings I don't want to get burned, is there any chance there is a 3.5 in Seacaucus-North Bergen with the new ratings? If not then I can use this towards a free re-bid.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the quick response, I'm looking for Friday night 11/28/08, max bid I would like is $85, I've started at $68 (rejected) added West Orange and increased to $71 and was unsure of adding Seacacus-North Bergen as a free rebid in case there may be some 3.5 hotels there.

Do you understand how to check your re-bid zones as per the Priceline Re-Bidding Explained thread?

Hi

Thanks, yes I do (momentary lapse of reason)

Have you checked your re-bid zones... as you actually have THREE of them.

What is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for this nite? Both the Hyatt and the Doubletree are $200+ for this nite, which would make your maximum bid less than half of prevailing rates. Do you have a back-up plan is you're rejected up to $85?

Hi

I did try the free rebids with no luck so far, most likely will try again tomorrow, backup plan most likely will be Morristown as I recently stayed at the Hyatt there. I'm watching the hotel web sites for Jersey City to see if they start to come down, amazing that another bidder has gotten the JC Hyatt for $75 from the 23-27 but the rate is showing on the Hyatt web site at $179

With your three re-bid zones i would be using the following (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 3.5* Jersey City...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $75, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* Jersey City and re-bid zone3...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $90 (if you want to try an extra $5)

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and keep us updated as to your progress. If/when you decide to add Morristown let us know and we'll revise the strategy accordingly.
