I%26#39;ve answered you on your other thread. If you bid on Priceline, bid ONLY 4* hotels (imo) and only midtown west if TS is where you want to be.

The first thing to do is to become an educated consumer and price hotels in the Times Square area. You can do so by checking the hotels%26#39; own Web sites or check through expedia on trip advisor. This will give you an idea of what hotels you are dealing with and the rates for your stay.

Priceline does not have a Times Square desgnation, only midtown west and that includes hotels not in Times Square such as the NY Hilton which is located near Rockefeller Plaza. Is that okay?

Are you okay with the possibility of only getting one bed in the room? If so, you can give priceline bidding a whirl.

Plug your travel dates into regular priceline (not the name your own priceline feature)...this will give you an idea of what hotels are likely going to be available if you go with the name your own price option. Are they okay?

If so you can give priceline a whirl. Keep in mind once you buy it your credit card is immediately charged and there are no refunds. That%26#39;s why it is a good idea to know what prices are first before bidding so you don%26#39;t overbid. Priceline does tack on a service fee.

If you want to spend only up to $150 for midtown west you could bid as follows: (For now just try the 4* level)

Bid 4*, MTW, $120

if rejected, bid MTW and UES, $130

if rejected, bid MTW, and UES, and UWS, $140

If rejected stop and reassess.

Bidding 4* on UES and UWS is called ';free rebidding'; because there are no 4* hotels in those zones, so in effect you are getting free rebids on midtown west.

For a lot more priceline information check ou the New York board on betterbidding,com, they also have hotwire info. which could be another option for you.

Didn%26#39;t see that other thread when I responded. Can we keep the same topic on one thread, makes it easier.

thankyou ,now i understand

thankyou again,i did priceline how you told me and got sheraton 4 * for 155.. cant wait

$155 for the Sheraton is a good price! Enjoy your stay!
