  1. I was able to get a great deal on airfare for the whole family (cheaper than going to the Cape for summer vacation!) so I lucked out with Better Bidding again and got a great deal on 2 rooms. Now lets hope they can accommodate adjoining rooms for the stay.

    1st bid:

    San Juan, $75, bid was NOT ACCEPTED but asked me to raise my bid to $97

    closed window and added free-bid zone:

    Ponce, $78, bid was NOT ACCEPTED but asked me to raise my bid to $97

    closed window and added free-bid zone:

    Mayaguez, $81, bid was NOT ACCEPTED but asked me to raise my bid to $97

    closed window and added free-bid zone:

    Humacao, $84, bid was NOT ACCEPTED but asked me to raise my bid to $97

    closed window and added free-bid zone:

    Hatillo, $87, bid was ACCEPTED!

    Offer Price: avg. per room, per night $87.00

    Rooms: 2

    Nights: 6

    Room Subtotal: $1044.00

    Taxes & Fees: $140.52

    Total Charged to Card: $1184.52

    I didn't read the detail, but I think I will have to pay the resort fee once we are there, can you confirm that?

    Thanks again Better Bidding!

  2. I clicked through better bidding link

    1st bid US $85 for 4* CANADA - Montreal (Downtown - City Center), not accepted, but PL offered free bid if I raised to $105.

    I opted to not raise my bid by US$20 and I opened new window and clicked through better bidding PRICELINE link...

    2nd bid US$91 for 4*, addded 2nd zone, CANADA - Montreal (Convention Center - Old Montreal - Latin Quarter), and "Hotel Deal in the Bag!"

    We want to bring the kids up for the MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, and hotel is located right next to it! Now, here is hoping we can get adjoining rooms for the kids.

    Seems like I got a good deal.

    Total Charged to Card: US$877.92

  9. ...decided to show the kids the green river and started bidding a couple days ago, to no avail, probably due to too low bids (used to rates in the suburbs, max bid $55 for 4* (used ORd as additional re-bid zone), 3*, NMA or Loop area)

    .. had a realistic max bid today and started with a different set of dates 3/15-18, 4*, bid $51-$69, REJECTED

    changed dates.. and this is what I did....
