Welcome to BetterBidding!

Most 'tourists' choose MTE, MTW, and UM/CPS. You may want to read the thread i wrote: PRICELINE NYC ZONE DESCRIPTIONS.

The star rating you bid for will most likley be based upon your expected budget... did you have a maximum bid amount in mind?

[xcoppin]

Thank you for your quick response.

My favorites zones are MTW, MTE and CPS.

Yes I planned 135 $ per night. Is it enough or not ?

[thereuare]

I would think that you could get a 4* within that amount.

Since you have some time, we'll try a little lower first :) You have two re-bid zones available at the 4* level... if you're not familiar with re-bidding please read this thread: PRICELINE RE-BIDDING EXPLAINED. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have or confirm which zones qualify as your re-bid zones if you are unsure.

Select 4* MTE and...

Bid $100, if rejected add MTW and...

Bid $110, if rejected add UM/CPS and...

Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone#1 and...

Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone#2 and...

Bid $130.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Any questions feel free to ask!

Thank you again for your help.

I just tried without success. I will try again in 3 days.

I bid 100 $, 110$, 115 $, 120 $ and 125$.

[xcoppin]

Just tried again. Same result failed :-(

I followed your instructions and used your link.

I will try again in a few days.

Do you know which hotel is it :

Amenties : Restaurant, Pool, Fitness Center, Tennis nearby and Business Center.

It's also indicated "Best Value"

First I think it was "The Drake" but it hasn't a pool.

Thank you,

[xcoppin]

Failed again :) I bid up to 135 $

I will maybe try with hotwire, I found a good deal at 143 $

What do you think go for the hotwire or wait and try again with Priceline ?

Thank you,

Xavier

Thank you !

I finally booked this hotel through Priceline. It was strange but the price wasn't the same with Internet Explorer (148$) or Mozilla (144$) :)

[thereuare]

Thru Priceline or Hotwire?

If Priceline, how much did you bid and what was the failed bid prior to the acceptance?

Thanks.

[xcoppin]

Sorry I made a mistake. I booked it through Hotwire.

The last bid (failed) on Priceline was 135$.
