"In the new format, each hot Rate hotel gives you a mouse-over list of five sample hotels that represent the star level (although some of them may not be in the actual zone). I would be interested to hear if actual purchased hotels are corresponding to hotels on the list most of the time or not." I've wondered this as well. I'm surprised no one has addressed this.

I was using $7 bonus cash (so total bid was $60). Bonus Cash: Per Room, Per Night $7.00 Offer Price: avg. per room, per night $52.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $52.00 Taxes & Fees: $15.48 Total Charged to Card: $67.48 First I had bid $50 for a 3* hotel in Downtown only. When I got the opportunity to change my bid and try again, I upped it to $52 and added the 3 areas of South Miami Beach. And it gave me the Downtown Miami Hilton! $103 is the lowest I could find that hotel for elsewhere. I'm quite pleased!
