I tried using bonus cash a week or two ago and I never was able to get my bid accepted. If memory serves me right first I was told that 24 hours hadn't elapsed since my last bid and the next time it told me I had already bid, and I hadn't. I now have $5.00 to use and it's good until tomorrow am. The email with my losing bid last night has a time of 7:33 on it so I should be eligible to bid after that. I want to bid Sioux City, IA for the night of October 2, one room, 2 people. There are two zones that can be bid. I willing to pay $60.00 for a 3 star and $55.00 for a 2.5 star and it really doesn't matter which one I end up with. Will you outline step by step the best way for me to bid this and get the max number of bids. Last night I bid $54.00 for a 3 star and $50.00 for a 2.5 star and didn't win the bid. Thank you very much for your assistance.
