Priceline Hotel: Help w/rebid

[joesmom]

Just unsuccessfully bid on mtw 4* $117 for 2 rooms, if I add Long Island (no 4* available) I can rebid mtw

for $120? Sorry, I've never tried the rebidding and I've read and reread the tips but I'm still scared, and

I don't want to end up in Long Island.

Thanks, I did read and re read the info and still couldn't quite grasp the concept.

It finally made sense and it really is simple. I give you guys and gals alot of

credit for the patience you show in trying to explain this! Thank you!

So here is what I did, I'm trying for two rooms for three nights (12/20-23)

4*MTW $117 reject

MTW + UES $120 reject

Now I'm going to try this

4* MTW + Brooklyn $130

4* MTW + Chelsea $135

4* MTW + Long Island $140

I can always try MTE but I won't go above $112

If that doesn't work, I'll bag the trip (it will be close to $1000) and we'll go skiing instead.

Glad that the explanation page was helpful. :)

My only note in general regarding re-bidding is just to be careful, as while NYC is fairly straightforward, there have been a few instances of people in various areas who have ended up in areas that were certainly not where they wanted because they were bidding in a hurry.

Including other areas that do not have 4*'s - as you have noted above - is correct.

I don't think $112 is going to be enough for MTE. Maybe $120ish at the least.
