I just was in the middle of a bidding strategy, and I got a screen that tells me "We're still working on your request" and will have an answer in 15 minutes. Has anyone ever seen this? Why is this happening? THanks, Ab

WOW...I had no idea. So, I tried for just Thurs and Friday nights. I used your complete bidding strategy and had no luck. I guess that right now my price range (up to $185 per nite) is not high enough for 4* anywhere in midtown or uptown for those dates. I will try another time for Wed, Thurs and Friday as soon as I can. Thanks, Ab

Unfortunately, I tried a bunch of combinations of areas at bids that were apparently much too low (120-140 range for 4*), before I had understood about closing and re-opening my browser. I didn't find any matches for 4* places anywhere I tried in midtown/uptown or combinations of those for either just wed & thurs-or-wed, thurs & friday. That reminds me...am I better off bidding for just Wed & Thurs - or- Wed, Thurs and Friday nights? Will I be able to free re-bid on the same areas again by adding the additional day? I wouldn't think so, but let me know what you think... Thanks, Ab

Thanks, thereuare, for the great roadmap to bidding! Unfortunately, I messed-up yesterday :) by bidding without understanding the free rebid stuff clearly, so I will have to wait the 72 hours to start using your suggested strategy. Once I do, I will definitely post my results. Hope to have good stuff to share in a few days. Thanks, Ab

Thanks for the quick replies! Right now, I have back-up reservations for them on 06/01 (Wed) and 06/02 (Thurs) for $195 per nite at The Lucerne. That means they will be staying at my place on 06/03. If we can find a 4* for under $190 per nite for 06/01-06/03, I think it would be worth it. Any chance of getting a 4* for under $190 on those dates? Any bidding suggestions? Thanks again! Ab :)

Hi. I am trying to book a 4* hotel in Manhattan (anywhere in midtown or uptown (not Chelsea or Downtown) for my parents for 06/01 (Wed), 06/02 (Thurs), 06/03 (Fri). I am wondering if you can help me with a bidding plan suggestion, if I want to pay less than $160/night for a 4* for those nights? Do you think it's possible for those dates? :) Thanks! Ab
