Thank you.Times Square - Theatre DistrictEmpire State Building AreaMadison Square Garden - Convention AreaChelsea AreaMidtown EastMidtown WestDowntown - SoHo - Financial District
thereuare Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Of the zones above, only TS, ESB, MTE, MTW, and Downtown have 4* rated hotels.I don't know your plans, but Downtown is usually a bit less convenient than the other zones for the average visitor (but perhaps you have reason to stay in this area??) If budget is an issue Downtown can often be do-able, but i don't think it's going to be an issue for you for this stay, so it's up to you if you want to include it or not. The straetgy below was written so you can simply omit Downtown from any of the bids where it is listed.At the 4* level you have FIVE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* MTE, and MTW...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE Select 4* TS and ESB and Downtown...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE Select 4* MTE, and TS...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE Select 4* MTW and ESB and Downtown...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE Select 4* MTE, MTW, TS ESB, and Downtown...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165Any questions feel free to ask.

vital Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Posted April 3, 2010 Hello,I'm not sure how to find re-bid zone.. I read the Priceline Re-bidding Explained page and selected the zones I'm interested in, checked 4* and clicked next. The next page only shows "Please Review Your Request" page and when I click the back button I'm back to the zone and star selection page...
thereuare Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Go to PRICELINE and enter your city.On the next page where the zones are listed, place a checkmark in the first zone, then scroll down to view the star ratings that can be selected. Make a note of the highest star rated hotel in the zone.Scroll back up, UNcheck the first zone select, place a checkmark in the box next to the second zone, repeat the process above... making sure that each time when you look to see the highest star rating available, that one ONE zone is selected.Does this make it clearer? (if not just let us know and we'll break it down further)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

vital Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Posted April 3, 2010 ok got it, thanks! Another quick question. How did you determine the order of zone to bid? If I prefer TS/ESB and don't want Downtown, can I change the order: First,Select 4* TS and ESB...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINEThen,Select 4* MTE, and MTW...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINEand so on..
