SMF Sacramento Fullsize Hertz

[austroamericandad]

Hot.wire and others were around $35/day. Tested the waters with $15/day for a Full Size - just out of curiosity, since I haven't done this for a while. Got counter offer for $33.

Started another bid with $25/day for a Standard Size - got counter offer for $31.

Rejected this - got a "one time re-bid" offer - tried $27 - got rejected and counter offer again for $31.

Since I rather wanted a Full than a Standard (they sometimes come with GPS included) I didn't mind the $2 more, so I went back into my rejected bid for a Full Size and booked it for the counter offer of $31/day.

 

Moderators: This may be something for others to note permanently - or maybe it is already somewhere:

If you got a counter offer, you don't have to accept it right away. It always stays in your "trip history" as rejected offer. If you open it from there for review, you can still book the counter offer, even though you rejected it originally to bid again below it.

 

Cheers,

Georg

Congratulations on your success... NICELY DONE!

Glad to see you're pleased with the deal you received on this rental.

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the rental company that accepted your winning bid so that we can add this information to the topic title.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Have a great trip!

Rental company is Hertz - thanks for reformatting the topic title and sub-header - I couldn't do this once it got posted - can only edit the content, not the title.

The hotel win report form has the nice helper functions - really great! But now I have even less  practice what needs to go where. Is there any way to add a small hint under the fields with an example?

Thanks for managing this forum!

Glad to you like the hotel posting form :)

Is the hotel form 'clear' or is the issue with the rental side of things? (for which we have not yet customized a form)

[austroamericandad]

My comment was in reference to the rental form not the hotel form - in rentals it just says Topic Title, and Topic description. Some times it's possible to provide a "hint" in the setup of forms - but not sure if this is possible on an individual list base in the IP Board platform.

We will look into adding customization of the car rental 'win form' to the to do list.

Thanks for the suggestion.
