I came up with a bidding plan for this, but I'm nervous that the three 4* hotels will not be what we think they are. These are the 3 that we want and are hoping for: Zone 4 - 4* hotel in Napa Downtown North - Andaz or River Terrace Zone 9 - 4* hotel in Upper Napa Valley – Harvest Inn Also the retail prices, yikes! They are SO high.: PRICELINE EXPRESS shows them at $382 & $482 and $497 Hotwire shows them at $382 and $616 There aren't a lot of current Napa wins on the board, so I'm not sure how else to gauge this. Should we start our bidding at $100 or is that laughable? Do you think these are the same hotels or very likely the wins, if we win? Is it a bad idea to use 3.5* zones as free bidding zones when we want 4*? (see below). I was concerned that some of the hotels we want could be shifted around and ones we weren't interested in moved up, but that's the risk, right? Is it better to have fewer free rebid zones and lower the stars? (does that even make sense? it's way past my bedtime!) Thank you for your help :) I promise to update with a win, if we get it! see below for bidding strategy I copied the ABCDEF template from the boards here. I feel confident I set it up right, but who knows? A = 4, 9 = want these two zones and only 4* B = 1 = free bid zone 3.5* and below C = 2 = free bid zone 3.5* and below D = 6 = free bid zone 3.5* and below E = 7 = free bid zone 3.5* and below F = 10 = free bid zone 3.5* and below A 4, 9 AB 4, 9, 1 close browser AC 4, 9, 2 close browser AD 4. 9, 6 close browser AE 4, 9, 7 close browser AF 4,9 , 10 ABF 4, 9, 1, 10 close browser ABC 4, 9, 1, 2 close browser ABD 4, 9, 1, 6 close browser ABE 4, 9, 1, 7 close browser ACD 4, 9, 2, 6 close browser ACE 4, 9, 2, 7 close browser ACF 4, 9, 2, 10 close browser ADE 4, 9, 6, 7 close browser ADF 4, 9, 6, 10 close browser AEF 4, 9, 7, 10 ABEF 4, 9, 1, 7, 10 close browser ABCD 4, 9, 1, 2, 6 close browser ABCE 4, 9, 1, 2, 7 close browser ABCF 4, 9, 1, 2, 10 close browser ABDE 4, 9, 1, 6, 7 close browser ABDF 4, 9, 1, 6, 10 close browser ACDE 4, 9, 2 6, 7 close browser ACDF 4, 9, 2, 6 10 close browser ACEF 4, 9, 2, 7, 10 close browser ADEF 4, 9, 6, 7, 10 ABDEF 4, 9, 1, 6, 7, 10 close browser ABCDE 4, 9, 1, 2, 6, 7 close browser ABCDF 4, 9, 1, 2, 6, 10 close browser ABCEF 4, 9, 1, 2, 7, 10 ABCDEF 4, 9, 1, 2, 6, 7, 10
