Crypto Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Greetings to all!I just tried Priceline's "Name your own price" but I didn't have luck with 4 start hotel reservation for NOV12. I raise up to 152USD but without success. Maybe it's too early to get great prices to NOV. I'll have to try the service again later. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!This is generally an expensive time for NYC. Under most circumstances $150 wouldn't be enough, but at the economy continues to remain slow, i'd be patient with this one, but also try to find a refudnable back-up in the meantime to protect yourself from rates going even higher.What is the best deal you're able to find thru conventional booking channels? If in the future you're unsuccessful at $150 for a 4*, would you increase your bid or lower your star rating?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Those are pretty good rates for this time of year for a refundable reservation. I'd book one of the above as a back-up and continue to try PRICELINE once a week until the end of the summer, if by then you're not successful i'd increase to twice a week.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated along the way.

Crypto Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Bids under 122$ were rejected (MTW,MTE, MSG, TS, CPS). I was hoping 4* but no luck with it (3,5*/4* were tried 135$).It looks OK price for now because Park Central website shows 169$ special offer and HOTWIRE offers it for 159$ per night. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $122.00Subtotal: $122.00Taxes & Service Fees: $29.92Total Charges*: $151.92 Link to comment
