Thanks! There has been a change of plans and there will now only be two of us staying for those two nights. I would like to bid on Priceline, I will repost in the PRICELINE forum.

Hello,

I need a bidding strategy for 10/12-10/14 in NYC. Would prefer 4* but 3 1/2 * and 3* is fine too. I am thinking max $170 per night which looks realistic judging from others' wins.

All areas in Manhattan except I am not sure about UWS and Downtown-SOHO-Financial District- I don't want to end up getting something too far north (i.e. in the 80s-90s-100s) or south (i.e. financial district) but would love SOHO - but if that is not a concern given my preferred star rating, please let me know.

Please let me know if you need further info.

Thanks!

Please keep all posts for this stay in the same thread.

You can end up anywhere within the PRICELINE zone that you select... so if you don't want to end up in the Financial Distirct, then you shouldn't include the Downtown-Soho-Financial zone in your bidding. Same goes for UES and UWS.

Please let us know the names of the zone(s) you're willing to accept (by PRICELINE name) rather than the zones you're not willing to accept as this avoids any confusion. As well, what is your goal for this stay... are you looking for the highest rated hotel you can get for a $170 maximum bid OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* (or 3.5*) hotel?

Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

I am looking the highest rated hotel with $170 as the maximum bid in the following zones:

UES, TS-TD, CPS, ESBA, MTE, MTW, CA, MSG

Thanks.

Yes, "CA" is Chelsea Area as per Priceline.

I will give it a try tonight and report back. Thanks.

Just to confirm what are the re-bid zones...sorry for being thick, it was a long day at work!

[mbz]

Won the Millenium Hilton -- ended up putting in Downtown/Financial District as an area for $165 per night. Thanks for your help!

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you added this zone by choice and this wasn't a bidding error by adding an unintended zone.

Glad to see you received the 4* hotel you were seeking within your budget.

Enjoy your stay.

[mbz]

Yes, I added the zone intentionally as I really wanted a 4*.

I used this site's PRICELINE link for this purchase.
