Started at $40, 3*, Fairfax, 2/7/13-2/12/13 rejected. Counter offer of $57 suggested. Didn't take counter offer. Increased bid by ~$3 a time, changing browsers and name/credit card (using both mine and spouses names/cards) as needed. Occasionally adding Falls Church zone as needed (has no 3*) Won at $50, 3.5* Hyatt at Fair Lakes. Very pleased! Good value will make up paying for internet access.
